(AutoPollen) The EUMETNET AutoPollen programme seeks to take full advantage of the large potential for progress that automatic pollen and fungal observations provide. It brings together a consortium from across Europe with the multidisciplinary expertise needed to address the challenges along the entire information chain - from the actual observation through to the final end-user defined product. The programme is particularly innovative in its cooperation and standardisation from-the-start approach. It also favours convergence with the aerosol and air quality monitoring communities, which should lead to improved service provision and additional savings.

The programme aims to:

• Develop an automatic European pollen and fungal spore monitoring network by integrating ongoing and planned projects. Serve as a framework for the exchange of multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise, ensuring synergy and collaboration;
• Provide recommendations and guidelines regarding all aspects of the information chain;
• Define the main standards of automatic pollen and fungal monitoring to ensure the provision of high quality information;
• Actively engage with stakeholders to ensure end-products are co-designed to meet their needs.
