Bürgerwissenschaftliche Labore
Unsere Citizen Science (CS) Labs sind das Herzstück unserer Initiative. Sie sind eine Online-Ressource, die durch persönliche Treffen und Workshops ergänzt wird, um alle freiwilligen Bürgerwissenschaftler*innen zusammenzubringen. Jedes CS-Labor wird von einer/m professionellen Forscher*in geleitet, der die wissenschaftlichen Aktivitäten unterstützt.
Die CS Lab-Aktivitäten bestehen aus einer Reihe von Workshops, in denen Bürger*innen, Unternehmen und Stadtverwaltungen gemeinsam ein lokales Umweltproblem definieren, Experimente planen, Daten sammeln, analysieren, Lösungen erarbeiten und Veränderungen herbeiführen.
Dieser Ansatz fordert uns alle auf eine menschenzentrierte Art und Weise heraus und ermöglicht die Erforschung von Problemen durch Brainstorming, praktisches Prototyping und Testen. Weitere Informationen zur Teilnahme an einem CS-Labor finden Sie im Menü oben.
Our Citizen Science Experiments
Lassen sie uns im SInne einer Veränderung entwickeln und zusammenarbeiten
Simple Sensors
We help communities set up simple air quality experiments using data sensors to capture air quality and other related information (e.g. traffic counting) to better understand air status at a local level
Personalized Content
Online air quality maps and dashboards using easy-to-understand graphics help show relationships between air quality and other local factors e.g. traffic, for individual and group analysis.
Community Support
Using the online maps and dashboards individuals and communities can work out what needs to be done at a personal, local and city-wide level to improve air quality for all.
Join an experiment in one of our locations below
Flanders, Belgium
Focus: Measuring the impact of a school street in Herzele on traffic and air quality in a surrounding area.
Sofia, Bulgaria
Focus: 1) Determining the impact of the introduction of school bus routes for morning and noon transport to school through a community building exercise with 2 schools on the outskirts of the LEZ. 2) Establishing the typical air pollution exposure profile of older kids in schools with school bus service implementation in public transportation. 3) Evaluate the efficiency of window meshes at reducing indoor PM levels at a kindergarten school.
Athens, Greece
Focus: Creating awareness on air quality among the elderly.
Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Focus: 1) Raising awareness and knowledge among school kids on typical PM phenomena. 2) Raising awareness on the impact of traffic on air pollution and generating baseline measurements for the future introduction of an LEZ.
Berlin, Germany
Focus: 1) Ascertaining exposure of cyclists and school kids on their way to school/work and evaluating both spontaneous and “helped” behavioural change with the overarching aim to push this experience to other cyclists and schools across Berlin. 2) Increase the amount of information on air quality available in the Friedrichshagen area on the city outskirts as only 1 reference station is located there, demonstrating the use of citizen science to accomplish this. 3) Demonstrate the positive effect of a local traffic ban on liveability in the affected neighbourhood. Get the neighbourhood involved and build support for this specific measure through monitoring and data workshops.
