Ground Truth 2.0
Environmental knowledge discovery of human sensed data
Ground Truth 2.0 set up and validated a co-design approach to develop six citizen observatories in real conditions, in four European and two African demonstration cases
The Problem
Citizen science projects – or citizen observatories – can be unsustainable.
Aims
To set up and validate citizen observatories across Europe and Africa.
Approach
Ground Truth 2.0 was a 3-year EU funded project that set up and validated a co-design approach to develop six citizen observatories in real conditions, in four European and two African demonstration cases.
The project demonstrated that such observatories are technologically feasible, can be implemented sustainably and that they have many societal and economic benefits. The ultimate objective was the global market uptake of the concept and the enabling technologies.
Our role and how the project relates to our work
Earthwatch contributed citizen-science expertise to the project.
