Název projektu:
PS-FP7-CROWD4UM: Crowd Sourcing Enablement for Environmental Monitoring using innovative sensor technologies and advanced data management techniques (11 GR 49R2 3MCU)
Popis:
A Greek company is searching for partners to participate jointly in the preparation of a project proposal entitled CROWD4UM.The project aims to deliver a technological and operational framework for enabling citizens collect environmental data, transmit this data to suitable data repositories and exchange knowledge through various communication means. Partners sought should be experts in the development of micro sensor monitoring technologies for undertaking integration and testing tasks.
New systems for earth observation such as the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS), the global observatory for environmental change and the climate change simulator are about to change the way citizens perceive and react to environmental problems. In order to tackle environmental problems, including climate change, EU needs to move beyond conventional systems of data collection and management. It is no longer sufficient to develop passive lists or reports to inform' citizens of changes in the environment. Policy makers need to engage with citizens and ask how they can inform' them. Obtaining and using local knowledge will help empower citizens, and it will also give a better indication of what needs to be done to achieve sustainability.
The project aims to deliver a technological and operational framework, where citizens would be able to effortlessly collect environmental data on a range of parameters, automatically transmit this data to suitable data repositories and exchange their knowledge and experience within a citizens' observatory framework by using appropriate communication means (such as smart phone applications) thereby enabling citizenship co-participation in community decision making and co-operative planning.
Expected impact:
(a)Empowerment of citizens and citizen's associations, allowing them to contribute to environmental governance processes in the domains of transparency, knowledge management, accountability and responsiveness.
(b)Provision of models for decision - makers, facilitating connections to governance and global policy objectives
(c)Roll-out of alternative services, products, technologies, infrastructures and behaviors as the new beyond activism - form of environmentalism.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
CALL Information: European Funding Source/COOPERATION PROGRAMME/Call-FP7-ENV-2012-two-stage/ENV.2012.6.5-1 Developing community-based environmental monitoring and information systems using innovative and novel earth observation applications/deadline: 20 October 2011 at 17:00:00 (Brussels local time)
Project proposal development stage: Proposal stage, not yet submitted.
Total EU funding requested for the project: confidential, but available upon request.
EU funding foreseen for the partner: to be determined before project submission. It will depend on the tasks undertaken by the partner.
Type(s)of Project:
Small or medium scale focused research project.
Partners sought should be SMEs active in the design and production of highly innovative monitoring technologies (low-cost reliable micro-sensors for air quality, water quality and noise level monitoring), which can be embedded into large numbers of instruments, including highly portable devices with emphasis on smart phones and/or wearable sensors for environmental monitoring. Partners should have substantial experience in EU co-funded R&D projects FP7, EUREKA-EUROSTARS etc.
