Amongst the most significant extreme meteorological phenomena are the Sand and Dust Storms (SDS). Owing to significant amounts of airborne mineral dust particles generated during these events, SDS have impacts on climate, the environment, human health, and many socio-economic sectors (e.g. aviation, solar energy management). Many studies and reports have underlined that the society has to understand, manage and mitigate the risks and effects of SDS on life, health, property, the environment and the economy in a more unified way. The EU-funded European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action ‘InDust: International network to encourage the use of monitoring and forecasting Dust products’ has an overall objective to establish a network involving research institutions, service providers and potential end users on airborne dust information. We are a multidisciplinary group of international experts on aerosol measurements, aerosol modelling, stakeholders and social scientists working together, exchanging ideas to better coordinate and harmonize the process of transferring dust observation and prediction data to users, as well as to assist the diverse socio-economic sectors affected by the presence of high concentrations of airborne mineral dust. This article highlights the importance of being actively engaged in research networking activities, supported by EU and COST actions since common efforts help not only each scientist by shaping their expertise and strengthening their position, but also all communities.

COST Lecture 2019 AE GM Barcelona：鼓励使用监测和预测粉尘产品的国际网络（InDust）

其中最重要的极端气象现象是沙尘暴 (SDS)。由于在这些事件期间产生了大量的空气传播矿物粉尘颗粒，SDS 对气候、环境、人类健康和许多社会经济部门（例如航空、太阳能管理）产生了影响。许多研究和报告都强调，社会必须以更加统一的方式理解、管理和减轻 SDS 对生命、健康、财产、环境和经济的风险和影响。欧盟资助的欧洲科学技术合作 (COST) 行动“InDust：鼓励使用监测和预报粉尘产品的国际网络”的总体目标是建立一个涉及研究机构、服务提供商和潜在最终用户的网络。灰尘信息。我们是一个多学科小组，由气溶胶测量、气溶胶建模、利益相关者和社会科学家组成的多学科小组共同工作，交流思想，以更好地协调和协调将沙尘观测和预测数据传输给用户的过程，并协助不同的社会-受空气中高浓度矿物粉尘影响的经济部门。本文强调了在欧盟和 COST 行动的支持下积极参与研究网络活动的重要性，因为共同努力不仅通过塑造他们的专业知识和加强他们的地位来帮助每个科学家，而且还帮助所有社区。交流想法，以更好地协调和统一向用户传输粉尘观测和预测数据的过程，并协助受高浓度空气传播矿物粉尘影响的不同社会经济部门。本文强调了在欧盟和 COST 行动的支持下积极参与研究网络活动的重要性，因为共同努力不仅通过塑造他们的专业知识和加强他们的地位来帮助每个科学家，而且还帮助所有社区。交流想法，以更好地协调和统一向用户传输粉尘观测和预测数据的过程，并协助受高浓度空气传播矿物粉尘影响的不同社会经济部门。本文强调了在欧盟和 COST 行动的支持下积极参与研究网络活动的重要性，因为共同努力不仅通过塑造他们的专业知识和加强他们的地位来帮助每个科学家，而且还帮助所有社区。
