Alliance Cases are newly engaged Citizen Observatories (COs) that joined the CitiObs project to expand its reach and impact across Europe.
They collaborate closely with the Frontrunner Cases and the project team to test CitiObs tools, provide local knowledge, and adapt methodologies to diverse urban contexts. Through mentoring sessions, peer exchange, and pilot activities, the Alliance Cases help validate and scale up the projectโs solutions. Their experiences and insights will be integrated into the CitiObs Knowledge Platform and Cookbook, ensuring they reflect the needs of real communities.
CitiObs is offering the Alliance cases the following:
Online webinars and workshops on how to implement CitiObs tools tailored to meet the specific needs.
Networking and peer-learning with other Citizen Observatories in CitiObs and connection to Communities of Practice, FabLabs, Maker Spaces and Creatives.
An in-person study travel to one of the cities in CitiObs.
Opportunity to connect data to the CitiObs data hub, using our data validation and managing algorithms.
Environmental sensors from Smart Citizen.

Peer-learning activities with other Alliance and Frontrunner cases working on similar topics to yours and experiencing similar challenges.
Network Engagement with 85 like-minded COs sharing common goals, fostering collaboration and collective growth. They will also have access to a network of Citizen Science Practitioners FabLabs and MakerSpaces, Creative Communities, and Communities of Practice.
An in-person study travel to one of the Cities of our Frontrunner cases.ย ย
Connection to Communities of Practice, FabLabs, Maker Spaces and Creatives.ย
Sensors for monitoring air quality, noise and temperature based on open hardware.ย
Opportunity to connect your data to our data hub, using our data validation and mapping algorithms.ย
Theย Fellowย cases are the COs that need reassurance that โit worksโ. They will onboard in June 2025 and will have the opportunity to learn and advance based on the CitiObs guidance and tools available in the CitiObs Knowledge Platform and from following the implementation process and the obtained results in Frontrunner and Alliance Cases.
Stay tuned and presubscribe to become a Fellow Case.
