What is the name of your initiative?DIAMS – Digital Alliance for Marseille Sustainability

How would you describe the main mission of your initiative?Measure/monitor air quality, Measure personal exposure, Raise awareness/education, Air quality modelling

Please provide a short description of your initiative (What is being done? Who is participating? What are your main goals?) This text will appear on the main page.The DIAMS project has 4 main objectives reflecting the five senses of human brain:
– Perception: To improve air quality information and produce high quality, detailed data
– Balance: To promote a fluid transmission of territorial data and air quality data between urban, regional and national platforms and ensure their consistency.
– Creation: To stimulate creativity and harnessing the expertise of citizens and the private sector to co-develop and implement innovative solutions to improve air quality.
-Movement: To provide personalized and adaptable information to citizens and policy makers to encourage their awareness and engagement.
In concrete terms, the DIAMS project consists in deploying a platform for the exchange of data on air quality and digital services that allows everyone (political decision-makers, experts, citizens, civil society, economic actors, for example) to commit themselves to developing coordinated action plans at all territorial levels (individual, hyper local, urban, regional, national and supranational).

Who is your main audience?Citizen, Schools, Non- Governmental Organisations, Cities, Other government administrations, Private sector

How is this initiative funded?Partially funded European project

Please provide an estimation of the total budget of the initiative (in €):More than 1 000 000€

What is the duration of the initiative?1 to 5 years

How many participants (citizen scientists, volunteers, etc.) have been involved (approximately)?1000 – 5000

How frequently is the data refreshed in the data platform?Between citizen sensor and app mobile : 5 sec

How long does it take before the newest data is available on your platform?Between app mobile and data lake and visualization too : 15 min

Do you give access to historical data?Yes

If possible, please share a link to your data privacy policy:We have analysed our tools with a technical specialist, and we consulted the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties). We have a DPO for GDPR.

What type of data visualisation do you provide?Statistics / Indicators / Charts, Maps, Report

Would you like to share with us any additional information? (Max 300 words)• Benchmark existing tools (µsensor, app mobile, visualizing tool, numerical architecture)
• Use existing tools and modify them to respond to the problems and needs identified : “Do not reinvent the wheel”
• Identify the needs with the local actors (you need to be accompanied by animation experts)
• Take account cost due to: controling quality by air expert, analyzing data (150€/unit), Machine learning (50 000€), personalizing assistance (call center – 10 000€ for 2000 citizen sensor), Logistic for the citizen sensors distribution (70€/unit)
• Be prepared to rewrite and update the digital architecture (consult with expert developers)
• Be trained by those who have made the tools (via a remunerated service)
• Take account the maintenance due to issue of updated operating system (iOS, Android…)
• Create new functionalities and realized the needs by trusted expert (developer).
• Integrate machine learning to filter and correct the data
• Work on the governance of partners and providers with a good animation. Identify trusted collaborators. Be present in the field. Identify the right vectors: schools, field agents, federations of associations, town hall manager. These actors must be the driving force.
• Work on the governance of data and on the licenses of common goods.
• …
We will write DIAMS feedback in sept. 2022.

GLOBE Ireland Air Quality Campaign

GLOBE Ireland Air Quality Campaign

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Description: The GLOBE Ireland Air Quality Campaign is a school-based citizen-science project to assess traffic-related (nitrogen dioxide) air pollution outdoors at schools in Ireland. This is an educational project designed to raise awareness about air pollution, showcase the potential of citizen science to gather unique datasets and insights into our environment and promote behavior change.

OdourCollect

OdourCollect

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: This project is based on a standardised European methodology to evaluate odour episodes through citizens' observations. Odour Collect’s main goal is identifying areas where the quality of life is jeopardised by frequent odour exposure. Any citizen can act as the observer and collect geo-localised open data on the odour episode, which can be used to build collaborative odour complaint maps. Through citizen generated data, it is possible to get a better understanding of the impact of odour emitting activities.

xAire

xAire

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: xAire represents a large-scale monthly air quality monitoring in Barcelona and it has been replicated in Venice. It is an unprecedented citizen science project that involves schools and families to both: collect new geographically accurate data on air quality, and to empower themselves to present them rigorously in front of the City Council. With the support of the Consorci d’Educació de Barcelona, 18 public primary schools from the 10 districts of the city participate in the action.
