Service: Citizen Science Data Governance

Responsible organisation: Ideas for Change and FabLab Barcelona (Local Government)

This Proof of Concept is part of the DECODE project. DECODE developed technology that puts people in control of their personal data, giving them the ability to decide how it is shared. In this Proof of Concept residents used environmental sensors which recorded factors such as noise levels and pollution. The sensors were located inside their homes and in their neighbourhood. DECODE technology enabled them to share this encrypted data anonymously with their communities, on their own terms. The Proof of Concept ran sessions to train and support participants to help them setup and use the  sensors to gather and analyse data to influence city-level decisions. The Proof of Concept tackled the technical challenges of collating and storing a stream of citizen-sensed data, while also enabling those citizens to control what information is shared with whom, and under which conditions.
