Aveiro conference achievements
We brought together local organisations, our consortium partners and members of
our international advisory board at our third annual conference in Aveiro, Portugal in
April 2019.
Broad audiences
At our well-attended public conference, we heard from
teenagers who build bikes in their school, watched videos
made with older residents, explored best practices in each
of the local municipalities and shared our own findings
from ClairCity.
The event, held at the Edifício da Capitania in the centre of
Aveiro, was an opportunity to hear from local and
international academics, health practitioners, politicians,
local authorities and community organisations on the local
and national situation in Portugal. Discussion on
opportunities and cultures around cycling featured
strongly, alongside deeper understandings of how the local
climatic and geographical conditions affect air pollution
levels across the region.

Conference themes
Our public conference was titled
“Connected communities:
Improving air quality and carbon
emissions to protect public health,”
but these themes were equally
present in the consortium meeting
we held before the conference.
In the last year of our project we
are making sure we fully deliver
innovation in approaches to air
quality and carbon.

Infographics for all
A crucial part of ClairCity is involving citizens in air quality
and carbon emissions discussions.
With clear views on how they would like to see their city
in the future, many people are also keen to know more
about air pollution, where it comes from and the health
impacts it causes.
Working with graphic designers we have created
infographics that community groups, schools, local
authorities, NGOs and institutes are using to help explain
and understand air pollution.

Our designs are available in English, Italian, Portuguese,
Dutch and Polish - all with the same information that
features in the design on the next page. The designs focus
on three key elements: health impacts; causes of air
pollution and solutions to poor air quality in urban areas.
