Completed this year, the OBERON European research project, of which the Institut was a partner, aimed to develop tests to identify potential links between exposure to endocrine disruptors and the onset of metabolic disorders. At the end of 5 years' work, he shares his results in video.

The Institute recently took part in the kick-off meeting of the European SIRIMA project in Katowice (Poland), of which it is a partner.
The aim of the project is to develop knowledge of localized collapses (fontis), in order to better manage this hazard in areas of shallow, abandoned coal mines.

The new European directive on ambient air quality was officially adopted on Monday October 14, 2024 by the Council of the European Union, following its adoption by the European Parliament in September.
The Laboratoire central de surveillance de la qualité de l'air (LCSQA) has mobilized the expertise of its three members (IMT-Nord Europe, Ineris, LNE), to support the air quality office of the ministry in charge of energy transition in the exchange processes with European institutions and within the European reference laboratory networks for measurement (AQUILA) and modeling (FAIRMODE).

On September 25 and 26, 2024, Ineris took part in the 3rd meeting of the European RFCS REECOL project, organized by the Technical University of Crete.

On June 17 and 18, Ineris participated in the annual meeting of CEN TC 264 Air Quality in Düsseldorf (Germany), organised by the VDI (German organization responsible for publishing standards).

The Institute has recently taken part in 2 working group meetings:
The 62nd meeting of the Working Group on Strategies and Review (WGSR) and the 53rd annual meeting of the Task Force on Integrated Assessment Modelling (TFIAM) of the Air Convention*, co-chaired by Ineris since this year.

Ineris announces the nomination of Didier Gay as Director of Strategy,
scientific policy, and communication, effective as of 2 May 2024.

Ineris, as a member of the French Central Laboratory for Monitoring Air Quality (Laboratoire central de surveillance de la qualité de l'air – LCSQA), took part in a European interlaboratory comparison (ILC) exercise organised recently by the JRC (Joint Research Centre/European Commission Centre for Scientific Research) for the measurement of gaseous inorganic pollutants (carbon monoxide [CO], nitrogen oxides [NOx], sulphur dioxide [SO2] and ozone [O3]).

On 20 March 2024, the European consortium met for the official launch of the FrHyGe* project, supported and funded by the European Union through the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. This 43 M€ project aims to validate the underground storage of hydrogen in salt caverns on an industrial scale. The project will allow the deployment of an industrial demonstrator in Manosque, France, as well as the replication study on the Harsefeld site in Germany and more widely at a European scale.

Ineris is a partner of the European IMAGHyNE (Investments to Maximise the Ambition for Green Hydrogen iN Europe) project, which officially launched on 12 February 2024. Here we take a closer look at Ineris’ expertise in safety, which was of particular relevance to this project.
