Abstract: Background There is a lack of awareness and accessible knowledge of IAQ effects on citizens’ health. The K-HEALTHinAIR project is working to provide a one-stop-shop for IAQ knowledge. With this aim, partners are co-designing with representatives of the quadruple helix a unique platform to allocate data, information, and relevant resources to research and foster IAQ in Europe. This platform is envisioned to store in an accessible and friendly manner datasets of concentrations of key indoor air pollutants and health parameters, standardized Key Performance Indicators, indoor location characterization information, IAQ recommendations and regulations and analytical models. Methods First, a stakeholders mapping was performed in all project pilot sites to identify the platform potential users. Second, partners identified with stakeholders which information, data and resources of the project would be of interest and how to present them. Findings were summarized in user-profiles according to the quadruple helix (academia, public administration, industry, and general society). Results A set of resources had been identified for each user profile. Each of them will be adapted and formatted according to the users’ needs before uploading it to the platform. The platform will allow users to access information according to their interest in an accessible a friendly manner. In this sense, a dashboard will be included in the website of the project for accessing the different modules of the platform: data management module and knowledge sharing module. The platform is being co-designed and will be tested in the project scenarios with representatives of the quadruple helix. Conclusions The K-HEALTHinAIR Open Access platform aims to be the one-stop-shop for IAQ knowledge.
