The 2012 European Aerosol Conference will be held in the fine city of Granada in the South-east of Spain, during the period 2nd-7th September 2012. The conference series is held under the auspices of the European Aerosol Assembly (EAA), a body that represents 12 national or regional societies. The Aerosol Society of Spain is proud to organize the EAC2012.

The field of aerosol science has grown rapidly in recent years and the conference will provide an essential forum for the latest and most stimulating developments. The programme will be arranged thematically according to the various working groups of the EAA, namely:

• Aerosol-Based Nanotechnology
• Aerosol Chemistry
• Aerosol Modelling
• Atmospheric Aerosol
• Electrical Effects
• Fundamentals
• Combustion Aerosols
• Instrumentation
• Particle-Lung Interactions
• PMx

Special sessions

In addition to regular sessions, a number of special topics are chosen for particular focus at the conference. The list of special sessions is given below:

• ACTRIS (Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network)
• A ground-based integrated study of chemical aerosol-cloud interaction (HCCT2010)
• Source apportionment
• Chemical characterization of combustion aerosols
• Field observations and modelling of special events (Fukushima accident and Eyjafjallajökull ash plume)
