Introduction to COBWEB
• Research Project: Funded under the European Commission’s Framework Programme 7
• Started Nov 2012 for 4 years (Month 35 of 48)
• First demonstrator completed, validated and tested during the 2015 Summer field season
• Why for COBWEB and Citizen Observatory’s?
– GPS enabled, internet connected mobile devices now ubiquitous
– Lots of potential, eg, can citizen sourced environmental data be useful for decision making?
![Page 3: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Key research questions
• Generic crowdsourcing infrastructure
– A toolkit which can be downloaded and used
in multiple scenarios
• Data which supports policy
• Address data quality issues
• Open standards
• Security and privacy

UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves
Sites of excellence to foster
harmonious integration of people and
nature for sustainable development
through participation, knowledge
sharing, poverty reduction and human
well-being improvements, cultural
values and society's ability to cope
with change, thus contributing to the
Millennium Development Goals
![Page 6: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Biosphere Reserves?
• Areas of high nature conservation value
• People
• Enthusiastic local communities interested in
sustainability
• Existing internal communication structures
• Designed for purpose – sustainability
science
• Network facilitates comparative functions,
eg, between countries

Co-design
![Page 11: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Not just apps #1
A number of demonstrator mobile phone
applications
– Exactly what, deliberately left open and
subject to discussion with community
3 pilot case study areas:
1. Validating earth
observation products
2. Biological monitoring
3. Flooding

Citizen captures data on their phone

Some Project Dynamics
1. Project started 1st Nov, 2012 and runs for
4 years, software now validated and tested
• Last quarter of project now…
2. An “SME Targeted Collaborative” project
• 30% EU contribution to SMEs
3. Develop 'citizens' observatories’
• Mobilise citizens
• Emphasised during Grant Negotiation
• “Co-design” fund established
4. A research project doing innovative work
• Crowdsourced environmental data to aid decision making

Some Project Dynamics
Mainly medium to high TRLs
Requires high TRLs
By definition, lower TRLs
1. Project started 1st Nov, 2012 and runs for
4 years, software now validated and tested
• Last quarter of project now…
2. An “SME Targeted Collaborative” project
• 30% EU contribution to SMEs
3. Develop 'citizens' observatories’
• Mobilise citizens
• Emphasised during Grant Negotiation
• “Co-design” fund established
4. A research project doing innovative work
• Crowdsourced environmental data to aid decision making

Balancing Act
• Validating our concept of Citizen
Observatory
• Testing the software
• But, research and development
continues in parallel
• However, we do recognise some components
need to be of higher TRL
• But, this is a research and development project
– Don’t have all the answers
– Don’t know exactly where we are going to end up
![Page 27: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Remainder of project…emphasis shifting
• Rolling out software
• Getting greater buy-in
• Sustainability
• Progressing the research agenda
• Greater focus on Greece, Germany
• Additional Biosphere Reserves
![Page 28: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Some parameters constraining 2016 activity
• More people using the technology
• A broader demographic
• Using their own handsets
• Geographically more widespread
• Data finds its way into existing
infrastructures like the National
Biodiversity Network
![Page 29: COBWEB End of Summer 2015 Co-Design Projects Celebration](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021923/5a6d55ec7f8b9a22428b539b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What would I like out of todays activity
• Dialogue
– Between the Co-Design projects
– Co-Design projects and COBWEBbers
– Co-Design projects, COBWEBbers and you
• Assistance in formulating plans for 2016
• Some fun, lot of good work done and a
knees up overdue
