The third edition of the AGORA International Doctoral Summer School on Atmospheric Characterization using In-situ and Remote Sensing Techniques has been successfully completed in Granada, Spain. Co-organized by the Doctoral School of Sciences, Technologies and Engineering of the University of Granada, the MSCA-SE project AERIS and the Cost Action EARLICOST, the school brought together early-career researchers, doctoral students and atmospheric science experts for an intensive training programme combining remote and on-site activities.

Participants received advanced training in atmospheric observations and remote sensing techniques through lectures, hands-on sessions and scientific projects covering topics such as lidar remote sensing, atmospheric spectroscopy, radar calibration, air quality monitoring, sun-photometry, bioaerosol observations and more.

A highlight of the programme was the field visit to the Sierra Nevada atmospheric station, providing participants with direct exposure to advanced atmospheric research infrastructure and measurement techniques.

Bringing together lecturers and researchers from leading ACTRIS facilities and institutions across Europe and beyond, the school fostered scientific exchange, collaboration and capacity building for the next generation of atmospheric scientists.

Congratulations to the organisers, lecturers and participants for the successful implementation of this outstanding training school!
