OBJECTIVES

The PULCHRA project will bring trust in the method of science and in evidence based decision making. It will help build recognition of the the links between the natural, built and socio-economic environment. Awareness will then be gained of the importance of citizen participation in shaping our living environment and the necessity of international collaboration in facing common urban issues.

The main objectives of the project are:

To develop open source educational e-material, e-guidelines and smartphone apps for analyzing the urban ecosystem and challenges.

To develop and use a City Challenges Platform amenable to students, parents, educators, citizens, scientists, local administrators including a collaboration feature allowing experts to guide non-experts in terms of the interpretation of findings.


To develop the City Science Teams with the participation of teachers and students, parents, professionals from the business community, scientists, local administrators, citizens, etc.


To “Experience Science” through the organization of two pilot City Challenges, also open to the general public, in the science fields as related to the cities as urban ecosystems.


To bring real life projects as related to cities as urban ecosystems in the classrooms through focused collaborations with professionals and enterprises.


To motivate students towards new technologies, mainly the use of Earth Observation (Copernicus program and Sentinel missions) and navigation tools, etc.
