What is the name of your initiative?Snuffelfiets (Snifferbike)

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

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.Within the Snifferbike project, bikes are equipped with sensors measuring air quality. Citizens use these bikes to for instance commute to work and collect air quality data at the same time. The data is collected at a central location but can also be used by the individual users.

Who is your main audience?Citizens, Schools, Universities and/or research institutes

If possible, provide the list of partners involved in the initiative.Sodaq, Civity, WeCity, Provincie Utrecht, Provincie Zeeland, Gemeente Zwolle, Globe Nederland

How is this initiative funded?Municipality programme, Other

Context – OtherProvinces, university

Please provide an estimation of the total budget of the initiative (in €):0€

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

How many participants (citizen scientists, volunteers, etc.) have been involved (approximately)?500 – 1000

Window open or window closed? Increase a healthy surrouding

Location: Nijmegen, Netherlands

Description: By measuring inside and outside homes or offices, citizens get a clear overview what the air quality is in their living environment. By looking at the results, one can adjust its behaviour, to increase a healthy surrouding. The detectors are provided in the project to for example ten citizens. During workshops they share insides and knowledge they gained. When is the best moment to open the window? For municipalities, it can optional be combined with wood burning courses.

CAIRGOBIKE Project

CAIRGOBIKE Project

Location: Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium

Description: CAIRGOBIKE is designed to improve air quality in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) by accelerating a modal shift from car/van to cargo bike to transport children, deliver goods and services through an integrated ecosystem of complementary nudging strategies. This innovative ecosystem will convert citizens and professionals to cargo bike use, ease the access to cargo bikes and create parking facilities. User community (citizens/businesses and non-profit) will be directly involved in air quality measurement and communication.
