Münster clean up!
Once again, 52°North staff braved the elements to clean up around the office building and in the neighboring Friedenspark. We collected quite a bit of trash and it felt great to be able to do our part to keep the environment clean! A hot barbecue with a cold drink was a nice reward after toiling away in the cold and rain!
Count us in again next year!
52°North presents work done on agile methodologies
The Cos4Cloud project partners met February 2 -3, 2023 in Barcelona to discuss the results and further cooperation in a last project meeting. Over the last three years, we have been working intensively on methodologies and services to improve citizen science platforms (citizen observatories), which will boost the quantity and quality of citizen science data and ensure their long-term viability. Learn more about the H202 project at the Cos4Cloud web site. 52°North presented a wrap-up of the agile methodologies developed and refined during the course of the project.
52°North in motion for breast cancer research
In honor of World Cancer Day, several 52°North staff members laced up their shoes and hit the pavement for the Breast Cancer Charity Run (Brustkrebs Spendenlauf). Katharina Demmich and Merel Vogel took advantage of the nice weather and each accomplished a 5 km run! Ann Hitchcock started this year’s running season with a 7.5 km run. And Markus Konkol walked his dog Sedi for 8+ km!
Many thanks to the participants for their contributions!
With the increasing impacts of climate change on our everyday life, the question arises: how well are we prepared for its effects? We will be confronted with more frequent and intense heat waves in the near future, which will especially challenge the citizens of bigger cities.
