EDIAQI Project Meeting in Ljubljana

The EDIAQI project team gathered in the beautiful city of Ljubljana, Slovenia, on June 11 to 12, for an in-person project meeting to chart the next phase of the project.
The meeting began with a unique opportunity to bring EDIAQI’s work into the public eye. Project representatives appeared in an interview on Slovenian national television, highlighting the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and the innovative research driving EDIAQI forward. This media engagement was a reminder of why communication beyond the consortium is crucial—raising awareness ensures the findings of the project actual translate into real-world impact.

The agenda was packed with intensive discussions reflecting both the achievements and ambitions. From reviewing the progress of the 30 months to carefully planning the final 18 months, the sessions were designed to tackle challenges head-on, identify opportunities for improvement, and ensure we meet—and exceed—the EDIAQI project’s goals.
The meeting’s work package sessions provided deep dives into critical areas:
- WP3 focused on lung dose studies and deliverables updates.
- WP4 explored pilot deliverables, data analysis, and tools like digital twins and simulation platforms.
- WP5 highlighted the latest results on toxicological assessments and health-related biomarkers.
- WP6 advanced the project's efforts to integrate EDIAQI knowledge into school curricula, including training material testing.
- WP7, detailed the transition from the involvement phase to the exploitation phase.

A special session on EDIAQI’s scientific publication strategy outlined plans for who will publish key results and when, ensuring the findings from the project reach the scientific community efficiently. In addition, participants engaged in a business model and public value canvas activity, shaping both the market strategy and the project legacy strategy to ensure EDIAQI’s impact endures beyond the project’s completion.
Meetings like this are fundamental for EDIAQI as they are where interdisciplinary ideas meet face-to-face, challenges are solved together, and strategies are refined with shared purpose. They ensure the EDIAQI team remains united in its commitment to delivering actionable knowledge for healthier indoor environments across Europe and beyond.
