  • Webinar #2, fall 2020: Stockholm Sensing Platform – mapping urban micro climates

    Air quality, heat, noise. These are environmental factors that deeply affect the well-being of people living in cities. Yet, they are hyper-local, fast-pace changing phenomena that are hard to snapshot. The Stockholm Sensing Platform explores the use of fleets of custom-designed mobile and low-cost sensors. By doing this, unique characteristics of Stockholm’s microclimates are captured, and provides use cases in the field of environmental monitoring, civic participation and public health.

    In the SSL-Kista Initiative, the Senseable Stockholm Lab joins forces with Kista Science City with the aim to start a new era of research and education on digitalization and sustainable urban solutions in Kista; combining the cutting-edge research on cities, IoT and AI of the Senseable Stockholm Lab with the deep knowledge of the world-leading companies in the Kista ecosystem.

  • Pilot initiative to simplify handling of data

    The need to be able to share, analyse and store data is growing. In March 2022, the president of KTH gave the green light to establish a new data hub aimed to boost data stewardship competence at KTH. To create a system everyone at KTH can use, the hub will partly be modelled on the Senseable Stockholm Lab, a collaboration on data-driven research between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the City of Stockholm.
