SHAPE builds on already existing relationships and collaborations between individual researchers and institutions. It aims to strengthen the Scottish air pollution research community and to better coordinate the dialogue with policy makers, who are faced by the development of more stringent air quality guidelines, limit values and long-term strategies (e.g. the Low Emission Strategy), while the demand for transport and the use of biomass for industrial and domestic energy production increases. By integrating across different organisations and scientific disciplines, SHAPE adds value to already ongoing research and provides opportunities for the development of future strategic research activities in and for Scotland and the UK. |
