CS-MACH1 - Marine Citizen Science data Horizon
CS-MACH1 aims at developing a Marine Citizen Science (MSC) data network and associated online hub to support MCS initiatives in the acquisition and integration of data by users.
This will be implemented by supporting continuous interaction between CS communities, technology providers, data management experts and researchers, and by providing the necessary low-cost technology, data management best practices and standards, training and support needed to produce FAIR data streams.
The role of SMHIs in the project
SMHI is leading WP2 setting up the Marine Citizen Science Data Network as well as carrying out a case study in the Baltic Sea with communities deploying low-cost sensors.
SMHI is involved in the 6 WPs.
