Citizen science and artificial-intelligence solutions for a sustainable planet
1000001 Labs is a Barcelona-based SME that designs and delivers advanced artificial-intelligence solutions for environmental monitoring, citizen science, and inclusive governance. Since 2012, our interdisciplinary team, spanning software engineering, environmental science, data analytics, and social science, has helped governments, researchers, and communities turn complex environmental data into actionable insight.
Our mission
To transform raw environmental and socio-economic data into knowledge that empowers citizens, supports evidence-based policy, and accelerates progress toward a just, resilient future.
What we do
| Capability | What it enables |
|---|---|
| Digital platforms and dashboards | Real-time data aggregation, interactive visualisation, decision-support modules, and long-term maintenance |
| Environmental monitoring and risk assessment | Hydrogeological mapping, multi-parameter water-quality analysis, EU-2020/741–compliant risk-management plans, and site-specific mitigation strategies |
| Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics | Generative AI models, predictive ecosystem modelling, environmental-justice indicators, and behavioural-data integration |
| Citizen science and community engagement | Co-creation methodologies, peer-learning networks, data-quality assurance, and capacity-strengthening programmes that put citizens at the centre of research |
Track record
-
Citclops / EyeOnWater – €5 M EU project that pioneered citizens’ observatories for coastal monitoring.
Across these and other Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, and FP7 projects, our staff has coordinated or contributed to over ten European projects, published more than fifty peer-reviewed publications, and nurtured partnerships with leading institutions such as CSIC, CREAF, UPC, URL, and Eurecat.
How we work
-
User-centred design – We co-design tools with interested parties and actors (IPAs) to ensure usability, relevance, and long-term adoption.
-
Interoperability by default – All solutions follow open-data principles and align with EOSC, IPCC/UNFCCC standards, and major EU directives.
-
Ethics and responsibility – Environmental stewardship, social justice, and data privacy guide every project decision.
Leadership and team
Our core team combines:
-
Software and cloud-platform engineers
-
