On July 8, 2021, an on-line conference inaugurating the implementation of the project entitled "Strengthening of atmospheric deposition assessment in Poland based on Norwegian experience", financed by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2014-2021 (EEA FM 2014-2021) under the program "Environment, Energy and Climate Change", area "Mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its effects ”. The conference was opened by Mr. Marek Surmacz acting as Deputy Chief Inspector of Environmental Protection, the leading role was performed by Ms. Barbara Toczko - Deputy Director of the Environmental Monitoring Department at the Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection (CIEP).
