CAPTOR is a project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme and started in January 2016. It will:

• Engage a network of local communities for monitoring tropospheric ozone pollution.
• Install a network of low-cost sensors to measure tropospheric ozone pollution, designed and maintained by European citizens in these local communities.
• Provide high quality and reliable data about tropospheric ozone poulltion from the low-cost sensor network.
• To engage the local communities in a collaborative learning process about air pollution, supporting a bottom-up process of defining and designing measures for action.
• To empower citizens and engage them in promoting behavioural changes and active participation in decision making to drive solutions.

CITI-SENSE will develop “citizens’ observatories” to empower citizens to contribute to and participate in environmental governance, to enable them to support and influence community and societal priorities and associated decision making.

CITI-SENSE will develop, test, demonstrate and validate  a community-based environmental monitoring and information system using innovative and novel Earth Observation applications.

iSCAPE (Improving the Smart Control of Air Pollution in Europe) project

As part of the Horizon 2020 Societal Challenges funding scheme, engineers from Trinity College Dublin will deploy next-gen environmental living labs in cities across Europe to improve air quality and reduce their carbon footprint. 

The engineering team will develop sustainable and passive air pollution remediation strategies, policy interventions and behavioural change initiatives between now and 2019.
