Street Spectra has belong to the ActiON project as a pilot along some other initiatives since the beginning in February 2019.
We got the opportunity of sharing all we have learn with the new six additional citizen science and pollution related projects that have recently joined ActiON.
The European Project will fund and support these teams that have got the opportunity of joining the team from February the 17th to the 19th at the Leibniz Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Berlin.
