A research cooperative


1000001 Labs is established to study artificial intelligence solutions to manage environmental data, and to advance international initiatives on citizen science data and metadata standardisation and interoperability. We are committed to advancing the public’s understanding of citizen science and its influences on people and society.


Our mission

AI-driven environmental intelligence

As the SME that turns artificial intelligence into maps, we specialise in developing cutting-edge decision support systems that transform complex environmental data into actionable insights. Our AI solutions enable real-time monitoring and analysis of environmental conditions, supporting evidence-based decision-making for sustainability initiatives.

Citizen science innovation

We are pioneering the growing resource-efficient observatories within the Horizon Europe framework, fostering participatory and re-coded monitoring approaches. Our citizen science initiatives, especially in Africa, empower communities to actively contribute to environmental research while ensuring data quality and standardisation across international platforms.


Key research areas

Marine environment monitoring

Our marine research cooperative focuses on understanding real-time changes in marine environments. We are at the forefront of building new internet of things (IoT) marine sensors that provide continuous, high-resolution data on ocean and coastal sustainability.

Key capabilities include:

  • Advanced IoT sensor networks for marine monitoring
  • Real-time data transmission and analysis
  • Water quality assessment and trend prediction
  • Coastal ecosystem health evaluation

Smart cities research cooperative

As a smart-cities research cooperative, we develop integrated solutions that combine AI, IoT, and citizen science to create more sustainable and livable urban environments. Our work focuses on creating intelligent systems that improve urban environmental quality while engaging citizens in the monitoring process.

Invasive species monitoring

We are going beyond IoT to monitor alien invasive species through innovative participatory monitoring systems. Our approach combines advanced sensor technology with citizen science applications to create comprehensive early warning systems for invasive species detection and management.


Innovation and technology

Interoperability solutions

Our commitment to interoperability ensures seamless data exchange between different monitoring systems, citizen science platforms, and research institutions. We develop standardised protocols that enable:

  • Cross-platform data sharing
  • Harmonised metadata standards
  • International research collaboration
  • Scalable monitoring networks

Decision support systems

We transform artificial intelligence into practical mapping and visualisation tools that support:

  • Environmental risk assessment
  • Resource allocation optimisation
  • Policy development guidance
  • Community engagement strategies
