AIRNET是一个主题网络项目（2002-2004年），旨在促进欧洲空气污染和健康研究人员之间的互动。作为空气污染和健康信息网传播战略的一部分，制定了一个标准化讲习班模式，以组织关于空气污染和健康的国家会议（空气污染和健康信息网网络日）。重点是使国家研讨会的信息和相关活动适应更广泛的利益攸关方的具体需要（例如，政策制定者、非政府组织、行业代表）。在本报告中，我们概述了2004年在欧洲西部、北方、中部/东部和南部地区举办的四个讲习班的成果。总的来说，研讨会的经验表明，航空信息网通过积极让与会者参与规划每次会议，帮助举办了一次满足与会者需要和兴趣的活动。用于讨论空气污染和健康问题的各种交流形式也有助于激发与会者之间的积极互动。总的来说，航空信息网举办的国家讲习班为改善不同利益攸关方之间的沟通提供了一种途径。由于广泛的利益相关者参与决策可以积极影响得到广泛支持的政策的制定，因此应该在欧洲和其他地方继续举行此类会议。
AIRNET was a thematic network project (2002-2004) initiated to stimulate the interaction between researchers in air pollution and health in Europe. As part of AIRNET's communication strategy, a standardized workshop model was developed to organize national meetings on air pollution and health (AIRNET network days). Emphasis was given to tailor the national workshop information and related activities to the specific needs of a wider range of stakeholders (e.g., policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, industry representatives). In this report we present an overview of the results of four workshops held in western, northern, central/eastern, and southern regions of Europe in 2004. Overall, workshop experiences indicated that by actively involving participants in the planning of each meeting, AIRNET helped create an event that addressed participants' needs and interests. A wide range of communication formats used to discuss air pollution and health also helped stimulate active interaction among participants. Overall, the national workshops held by AIRNET offered a way to improve communication among the different stakeholders. Because a broad stakeholder involvement in decision making can positively affect the development of widely supported policies, such meetings should be continued for Europe and elsewhere.
