Co-creation workshops were designed and organized in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Zurich to to have in-depth insight into the profiles, life-styles, needs, and motivations of the stakeholders with regards to energy awareness.

This report documents this experience.

D2.1: Data Acquisition Infrastructure

Acquiring structured and unstructured data: Although there is a trend towards combining multiple data sources, integrated approaches tapping into multiple structured, unstructured, and social sources at various levels of abstraction are still scarce. DecarboNet addresses this shortcoming and builds upon the Media Watch on Climate Change1 when developing the required methods to contextualise environmental knowledge and track collective awareness in a granular manner.

D7.1: Project Website

The DecarboNet project website (www.decarbonet.eu) provides information on the project to a larger public. It describes and promotes the project’s objectives and activities on a higher level abstracted from both the administrative project structure and the technical details in the research work going on in the project. It is intended as a simple and highly accessible ‘shop window’ for the project. As technical base we employ the WordPress publishing platform, which provides to option to integrate plug-ins, e.g. for including or referencing external public Web resources or community features.
