SMURBS participated in the “Workshop of Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)”, that was held in Madrid, Spain, on 28 of November 2017. The CAMS user workshops are an opportunity to learn from the experience of existing users of the Atmosphere Monitoring Service and hear how they apply these data to their work, to meet in person members of the CAMS team and to interact directly with advanced and new users of CAMS products.

The Copernicus workshop brought to SMURBS (via its partner CREAF)  a unique opportunity to interact with private and public sector focusing on Green Growth and Smart City development, and identify CAMS services that fit to the urban perspective of SMURBS.
