CompAir is an ambitious innovation project designed to bolster the capacity of thousands of citizens across Europe to use new technologies (including augmented reality, sensor technology, and local digital twins) to monitor, understand, and change their environmental impact, both at a behavioural and policy level. It unlocks the power of the wider public, including women, young people and hard-to-reach groups, to provide citizen science data around a central theme of air quality, thereby complementing and improving the quality of datasets and making new information useful for research purposes, policy making and behavioural change.
CompAir unites 15 partners from 6 different European countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Netherlands and the United Kingdom to create a powerful global ecosystem for driving environmental change. Bringing together networks, researchers, the public sector, technologists and community activists with the media and general public enables pilots in the region of Flanders, and the cities of Athens, Berlin, Sofia and Plovdiv to tackle complex environmental problems which require different perspectives and collaborative thinking to deliver transformative, scalable solutions.
ATC will lead the development and integration activities of the project for delivering the CompAir solution and applications.
The project started in November 2021 and will last for 36 months.
