The ENFORCE EU-funded initiative commences its 4-year journey
The new Horizon Europe initiative, ENFORCE (Empower citizeNs to join Forces with public authORities in proteCting the Environment), brings together 25 partners from 10 European countries, aiming to drive the development of participatory environmental monitoring and enforcement systems, and advance environmental governance practices, in line with the Green Deal Data Space initiative.
Participate in the AtrAI Bikes workshop!
The senseBox:bike is an open-source sensor technology that collects environmental and traffic-related data while traveling. Using an innovative, AI-based approach, dangerous passing manoeuvres by cars, road conditions, particulate matter and temperature are measured on the move. Join the workshop and you can assemble the technology, try it out and discuss how this data can contribute to improving the safety of cyclists and the cycling infrastructure. If you would like to be part of this citizen science campaign, we will lend you the senseBox:bike for a measurement campaign at the end.
No prior knowledge is required! However, it makes sense if you are often riding your “Leeze”… Just bring a roadworthy bike and you’re ready to go. 🚴♂️
Date: 30. Oktober 2024

Registration: https://tickets.reedu.de/sensebox-bike-24/
The event will be held in German.
The workshop is part of the atrAI.bikes project by re:edu, 52°North and the Instituto Cordial (Brazil), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the transformation towards bicycle-friendly cities and is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the FAPESP as a foundation for research funding in São Paulo. The city councils of Münster and São Paulo are our associated partners in the project.
The Geonetzwerkes Münsterland invites to this year’s themed day “This is us! – Expertise diversity for a connected future”. Our colleague Sebastian Drost will present “KomMonitor – Co-Design für kommunales Monitoring”. See their website for more details here.

52°North at ITC
Several colleagues from 52°North traveled to our Dutch founding member, the ITC of the University of Twente, for a joint symposium. We had not been to the ITC since it moved to a new building. To grasp the dimensions of the Langezijds building, we were given a guided tour of the departments and labs. 52°North and the ITC departments gave an overview of current projects and research topics in preparation for the discussions on further joint activities and to identify commonalities and complementarities. During the afternoon, topic-specific break-out tables were set up for lively discussions. We came up with many ideas and identified concrete measures to shape our future collaboration. Many thanks goes to the ITC team for the very warm welcome, their hospitality and the fruitful exchange of exciting ideas!
