The Guardian newspaper recently ran an article on ‘Ten social Innovators to Watch’ about the ten most exciting people to watch out for on the digital innovation front.  Highlighting the importance of digital creativity in providing more sustainable and collaborative ways in which to enhance our environments and society, ICRI’s very own Tomas Diez was named number one.

1. Tomas Diez, co-founder, Smart Citizen kit @tomasdiez
Tomas Diez is the co-founder of the Smart Citizen Kit project – an initiative that empowers citizens to improve urban life through capturing and analysing real-time environmental data. The Smart Citizen Kit is based on two components: the “kit” itself and the platform used to share data between people operating a kit. It is built on the open hardware product Arduino, and equipped with sensors that can measure air quality, temperature, sound and humidity. Via the platform anyone who owns a kit can share and visualise their data.

Great work Tomas!
