Large projects

The projects below have been funded by the European Commission (H2020 or HORIZON programmes). You can find more information in the funding page.

  • Making Sense: advances and experiments in participatory sensing. (Grant agreement Nº: 688620). Making Sense explored how open source software, open source hardware, digital maker practices and open design can be effectively used by local communities to fabricate their own sensing tools, make sense of their environments and address pressing environmental problems in air, water, soil and sound pollution.
  • iScape: Improving the Smart Control of Air Pollution in Europe (Grant agreement Nº: 689954). iScape works on integrating and advancing the control of air quality and carbon emissions in European cities in the context of climate change through the development of sustainable and passive air pollution remediation strategies, policy interventions and behavioural change initiatives.
  • GROW Observatory: (Grant agreement Nº: 690199). A citizens' observatory for growers, researchers and decision makers, aiming to build better soil through Citizen Science.
  • MINKE: (Grant agreement Nº: 101008724). Innovative design to monitor and manage data on marine ecosystems. MINKE proposes a new vision in the design of marine monitoring networks using two dimensions of data quality, accuracy and completeness, as the driving components of quality in data acquisition. We have been in charge of making water sensors and provide them as a service.
  • TwinAIR Innovative tools to improve indoor air quality. (Grant agreement Nº: 101057779). An investigation of indoor air quality and how it relates to external factors. With the aim of improving quality of life in the city, the project will introduce innovative tools for identifying and tracing pollutants and pathogens to increase understanding of their effects and assess their impact on health.
  • CitiObs: (Grant agreement Nº: 101086421). Enhancing citizen observatories for sustainable cities. CitiObs is a EU Project aimed at fostering inclusive, diverse, and stable citizen participation in the observation, monitoring, and protection of urban environments. Through the use of low-cost sensor technologies and wearables, CitiObs supports the observation of air quality and other environmental measures, empowering citizens to take an active role in shaping sustainable urban policies.
