According to a new research study published in the academic journal Sustainability, the technology developed by the Horizon2020 Cos4Cloud project can substantially support networks of citizen observatories, that is, citizen science platforms that gather biodiversity and environmental observations (photos), to increase their data quality and quantity.
El CREAF participates in SMURBS project. A new project harnesses Earth observation (EO) data to improve the quality of life in urban areas.
Congratulations to our reseracher Joan Masó, awarded the 2018 Gardels Award for being ‘the hardest working OGC member out there.’
CREAF is heading a community of practice that is leading the first citizen science interoperability experiment of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The goal is for citizen science projects to adopt international standards with a view to data being shared and reused.
In conjunction with the meeting of the OGC Technical Committee in Barcelona from 9 to 13 March, an OGC Interoperability Day was held on Friday 13 March 2015, at Institut Cartogràfic i Geologic de Catalunya (ICGC).
CREAF coordinates the European project WaterInnEU, whose objective is to create a marketplace connecting results of European R&D on water with potential users. Through WaterInnEU, it is hoped that tools, protocols, and data produced by European research can be standardised, provided via open access, and that they are transferred to actors in the water management sector with decision-making power, or that they penetrate into the market in the form of products and services.
