The hybrid closing conference of the LIFE IP HungAIRy project will take place on 19 November 2026 at the Novotel Budapest City & Budapest Congress Center. The event will bring together project partners and invited experts to reflect on the work carried out over the past eight years, as well as the project's achievements and lessons learned.

Launched in 2019, the LIFE IP HungAIRy project aims to improve air quality in Hungary by developing and implementing measures to reduce air pollution. Throughout the programme, which involves ten Hungarian municipalities and is built on extensive professional cooperation, significant progress has been made in several areas: tools supporting air quality monitoring and modelling have been further developed, professional support for local measures has been strengthened, an eco-manager network has been established, and public awareness-raising has also played an important role.

The significance of the project lies not only in the individual developments and measures implemented. Over the past years, valuable experience, good practices and forms of cooperation have also been established, which can continue to contribute to air quality protection beyond the project's lifetime. This makes it particularly important to present the results achieved, share the knowledge gained and put the lessons learned to good use in future professional activities.

The closing conference will provide an opportunity to review the project's achievements, exchange experiences and discuss opportunities for future cooperation. The programme will include expert presentations, invited speakers, presentations of other European LIFE projects and a roundtable discussion.

Date: 19 November 2026

Venue: Novotel Budapest City & Budapest Congress Center, 1123 Budapest, Alkotás utca 63–67, Hungary
