European Aerosol Assembly
Welcome to the website of the European Aerosol Assembly (EAA), the umbrella organization of the European aerosol science community.
Aerosol science investigates solid and liquid particles suspended in gases and their roles in the atmosphere, technology, industry, climate, and human health. Understanding aerosols requires an interdisciplinary approach that brings together physicists, chemists, engineers, environmental scientists, medical researchers, and many other disciplines.
The European Aerosol Assembly promotes scientific collaboration across Europe, supports the exchange of knowledge, and strengthens the international aerosol research community.
OUR MISSION
The EAA brings together national aerosol societies across Europe to:
-
foster collaboration between European aerosol societies;
-
coordinate and support aerosol research activities across Europe;
-
organize the annual European Aerosol Conference (EAC);
-
facilitate communication and knowledge exchange within the aerosol community;
-
promote education and training in aerosol science and technology;
-
support scientific Working Groups representing the major fields of aerosol research;
-
represent the European aerosol community in interactions with international organizations and funding bodies
SCIENTIFIC WORKING GROUPS
The scientific activities of the EAA are coordinated through five Working Groups, representing the major branches of aerosol science:
The Working Groups shape the scientific program of the European Aerosol Conference (EAC), promote collaboration within their research communities, and support the development of emerging scientific topics.
Working Group Speakers:
Ana Kroflič, ana.kroflic@ki.si
Luca Ferrero, luca.ferrero@unimib.it
AEROSOL RESEARCH JOURNAL
Aerosol Research (AR) is the official scientific journal of the European Aerosol Assembly. As a not-for-profit, peer-reviewed, diamond open-access journal, it publishes high-quality research covering all areas of aerosol science relevant for the international aerosol community. The subject areas are aligned with the structure of the EAA working groups.
The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers and invited opinions that
advance the understanding of aerosols and their impacts across scientific disciplines.

EUROPEAN AEROSOL ASSEMBLY AWARD
Presented biennially during the European Aerosol Conference, the European Aerosol Assembly Award celebrates excellence and sustained impact in aerosol science and technology. Nominations are invited from members of the EAA member societies and are evaluated by the EAA Award Committee according to the published award guidelines.
The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to aerosol science through excellence in research, scientific leadership, or exceptional service to the European aerosol community. The award also acknowledges contributions that strengthen collaboration between member societies and advance the mission of the EAA.
EUROPEAN AEROSOL CONFERENCE
The European Aerosol Conference (EAC) is the flagship scientific meeting of the European Aerosol Assembly. Every year, it brings together researchers, students, industry, and policy stakeholders from around the world to present the latest advances in aerosol science and technology. Every fourth year, the EAC is replaced by the International Aerosol Conference (IAC), organized by the International Aerosol Research Assembly (IARA).
Upcoming conferences:
-
EAC2027 – Ljubljana, Slovenia (5–10 September 2027)
-
EAC2028 – Prague, Czech Republic (4–8 September 2028)
-
EAC2029 – Budapest, Hungary
-
IAC2030 – Mexico City, Mexico
