The series of international conferences on Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes is concerned with the improvement of “modelling culture” both in Europe and at an international level.

The conference is a natural forum for discussing modelling issues related to the European Union air quality directives. European networks such as the FAIRMODE network may find the conference useful in order to expose their work to a wider audience.

The entire series of Harmonisation conferences is the result of an initiative launched in 1991 (see http://www.harmo.org). The conferences have a role as a forum where participating model users and decision-makers can bring their requirements to the attention of scientists.
