Project description
PartiCitaE is a citizens’ observatory for the urban environment. Its aims are twofold: 1) Develop systemic knowledge of the urban environment by combining scientific methods and citizen science 2) Support the environmental transition by working on issues that are specific to the urban environment The observatory aspect of PartiCitaE is an environmental research tool based on standardized long-term data collection protocols. PartiCitaE will use these data to shed light on and determine opportunities for study of targeted scientific issues. The citizen science aspect of PartiCitaE involves the general public, which is essential for tackling environmental transition issues. This aspect requires interaction between participants and researchers to develop scientific knowledge. |
