TL;DR: The present EAACI Position Paper, in collaboration with EFA, highlights the most important research needs in the field of allergy to serve as key recommendations for future research funding at the national and European levels.

TL;DR: Across Europe, the same amount of pollen released substantially different amounts of group 5 grass pollen allergen, in addition to variations in pollen counts, which might be a valuable addition to pollen counting.

TL;DR: Monitoring atmospheric concentrations ofBirch pollen grain and the matched major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 simultaneously across Europe within the EU-funded project HIALINE (Health Impacts of Airborne Allergen Information Network) found a humanized basophil activation test correlated much better with allerGEN concentrations in ambient air than with pollen count.

TL;DR: Olive pollen and Ole e 1 in ambient air in Córdoba, Spain, and Évora, Portugal, are determined using Hirst‐type traps for pollen and high‐volume cascade impactors for allergen.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the development of phenological networks, remote sensing of the season cycle of the vegetation, the emergence of the science of aerobiology and, more specifically, aeropalynology, pollen sampling instruments, pollen counting techniques, applications of aerophysics in agriculture and the European Pollen Information System.
