52°North welcomes students participating in this year’s Google Summer of Code
52°North is pleased to announce that we will mentor three students for Google Summer of Code 2019! The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for Open Source projects. During their break from university, the students work on a 3 month programming project. This year, Google has funded 1276 student projects for 206 open source organizations.
The European Citizen Science Association Conference 2016 (ECSA Conference 2016) takes place from May 19 – 21, 2016 in Berlin, Germany. Under the motto “Citizen Science – Innovation in Open Science, Society and Policy”, the conference will showcase how both new and traditional ways of citizens working with scientist can enable the transformative enhancement of science-policy and social impact, scientific advancement, scientific literacy and empowerment. Of particular importance is the role of citizen science within wider agendas such as open science and innovation, and progressing towards responsible research and innovations.
Dr. Christoph Stasch presents the enviroCar project.
11:00 Session 2: Science Tools, technologies and applications in Citizen Science

The 18th International GI/ITG Conference on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems” and “Dependability and Fault-Tolerance” (MMB & DFT 2016) takes place from April 4 – 6, 2016 in Münster, Germany. 52°North’s Dr. Christoph Stasch participates in the conference workshop “E-mobility and smart grids: challenges and opportunities“. He is invited to hold a talk about the enviroCar project in the MMB/DFT Plenary.
The workshop “E-mobility and smart grids: challenges and opportunities” discusses challenges and opportunities that arise from the embedding of e-mobility and smart grids in an inter- and trans-disciplinary setting. Participants will discuss regulations and concepts that are able to ensure a successful integration of charging infrastructure for e-mobility and smart grids. The workshop is especially concerned with the long-term effects of a large population of e-cars for the power grid. However, appropriate measures to increase user acceptance of e-cars and how known mobility patterns of users can help to reduce the impact on the grid will be discussed!
The new release of the enviroCar app provides enhanced usability, better performance and a simplified data collection workflow.
