2015’s General Assembly (GA) was such a fantastic conference and community event! For a panorama of activities and discussions see our tagwall for #ECSAbcn collecting social media activity of the GA or the one on #CSinAction (which is still active!). A summary of the workshop on CS Data and Service Infrastructure on Friday is available […]

With the growth of citizen science comes the challenge of coordinating people, projects and data. These challenges present a tremendous opportunity: with proper standardization, data can support multiple projects, allowing citizen science to address ever-grander issues and problems. On January 26-27, 2016, the European Commission’s Joint Research Center invited 20 international participants, including members of the […]

Sergi Pons presents his thesis on “do-it-yourself instruments and data processing methods for developing marine citizen observatories“. The motivation behind the thesis is related to the need to optimize the monitoring of oceanographic processes. In oceanography, data is not being sampled with the appropriate frequency and spatial resolution. If aliasing occurs, the signal reconstructed from samples is different from the […]

The Web is a source of rich and varied content. If that content, or at least the important data within it, could be accessible not only to humans but to computers as well, it could then be filtered, grouped, analyzed, and served to citizens in ways humans would be hard-pressed or unable to achieve themselves. […]

Laia Subirats presents her thesis on: The motivation behind the thesis is related to the negative impact of neurological diseases on human society.   Objectives of the thesis: To generate an automated translation of Medical Health Records (MHRs) to international standards promoted by the WHO To represent all concepts involved using an ontology To provide […]

The “Musical Tentacle” is a project by Citclops, 1000001 Labs, CSIC, Eurecat, and thethings.iO to create sound from and artistically express scientific data used to measure the transparency of the sea water. It uses the KdUINO a low-cost Arduino-based buoy from the Citclops project designed for the monitoring of natural-water quality, which environmental-science grad students […]

Luigi Ceccaroni talks about participatory science to understand the ecological status of surface marine waters at the second International Ocean Research conference  (One Planet One Ocean) taking place in Barcelona, at the CCIB – Barcelona International Convention Centre, on November 16th and 18th, 2014. As with terrestrial life, plankton is a complex “ecosystem” consisting of forms of life […]

Data Clippers, the project 1000001 Labs sent to Wired, has been selected for the semi-final of Hack The Expo, where the 21 projects that will participate in the final on October 4th in Milan will be chosen. We will present the project at the ExpoGate’s Leonardo Space in Via Beltrami 2 (Castle Square) at 10.30 […]

1000001 Labs’ Hydroino is a prototype of a low-cost, Arduino– and Electric-Imp–based buoy for the monitoring of natural-water quality, which environmental-science grad students and do-it-yourself sea enthusiasts can build. Thanks to the real-time component of the monitoring, the participation of the citizens, the development and implementation in existing low-cost prototypes, Hydroino is offering a unique […]
