PARTNERSHIP

APICE is developed in 5 study areas of 4 MED Countries and involves the territories of Venice, Marseille, Thessaloniki, Genoa and
Barcelona. Partnership is organized on the base of a double-helix model that allows:

  • horizontal dialogue among researchers and institutions working, at different levels, towards integrated strategies to reduce pollution and manage the coastal zones
     
  • vertical dialogue between scientific actors and decision makers in each project area, to mainstream the results and assuring their better and effective use.


Thus, in each project areas, there is the presence of:

  • 1 university / research agency (ARPA Veneto for Venice; Universities of Aristotle and Western Macedonia for Thessaloniki; University of Genoa; University of Provence for Marseille; CSIC for Barcelona) with high-level expertise in monitoring, measurement and source-apportionment of atmospheric pollution emissions
     
  • 1 institutional body, owning the scientific findings about the impact of the each land-based / shipping pollution source affecting the air-quality and use this info as knowledge asset to drive the coast and port-areas development according to EU Directives. Involved institutional PP are the Regions of Veneto and Central Macedonia, the Province of Genoa, the Ports of Marseille and EUCC of Barcelona, that has a fast track channel with the Comunidad de Cataluna and Barcelona council
