SERVICO2’s First Co-Creation Event: Local Voices Shape the Future of the Upper Kemi River

On 12 May 2026, the SERVICO2 research team from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) held the project’s first co-creation event in Savukoski, Finnish Lapland. Sixteen local stakeholders from across Lapland and six researchers from UEF, the Natural Resources Institute Finland (LUKE) and the University of Helsinki (UHEL) took part in the event.

SERVICO2 Takes Off: Kick-off Meeting at CEAB-CSIC, Blanes

The SERVICO2 consortium gathered for a two-day, face-to-face kick-off meeting in Blanes, hosted at the Centre for Advanced Studies of Blanes (CEAB-CSIC). Participants from CEAB-CSIC, the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), the University of Padova (UniPd), the Czech Geological Survey (CGS), Umeå University (UMU), and the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) met to discuss the next steps of the three-year project and to refine key aspects of its implementation.

Smart Chambers and Sensor Networks: Monitoring GHG Fluxes with DIY Innovation

To measure greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange in real-time and at high resolution, Work Package 3 (WP3) is developing low-cost, multi-sensor chambers designed for long-term, autonomous deployment in the field. These portable devices—built using open-hardware principles—will integrate sensors for CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, NOx, VOCs, and environmental variables, operating as modular "electronic noses." With robust microcontroller programming and remote data connectivity, the system aims to reach TRL 5–7, enabling reliable field validation and paving the way for scalable ecological monitoring technologies.
