Meet the team
We share profiles of collaborators from our sixteen consortium partner organisations
For me, it is a new experience and
a learning opportunity. The project
presents a different approach to the
problems of atmospheric pollution
and CO 2 emissions. The project has
new challenges in the
implementation and
accomplishment of certain tasks,
especially thinking about how to
interact and engage with citizens
across the region.
Olga Cravo
Project Manager, Intermunicipal
Community of Aveiro Region (CIRA)
What is your role in ClairCity?
I am managing the work of CIRA
(Intermunicipal Community of
Aveiro Region) for ClairCity. This
combines ensuring the appropriate
data is collected from the eleven
municipalities, coordinating locally
for inputs and dissemination, and
managing our local budget. I also
have to make sure we have the
right technical contacts and
connections with other
organisations in the region that will
support the implementation of the
project.

What do you hope for the future
of your city?
I hope we can expand “smooth
mobility” (bicycle, walking and
others) and the implementation of
public transport policies that are
more environmentally friendly. We
need to take action to reduce the
use of cars, especially in urban
spaces.
Olav ten Bosch
Project Manager, Statistics
Netherlands (CBS)
Where do you live?
I live in Delft, The Netherlands.
What is your role in ClairCity?
I manage the Statistics Netherlands
activities in ClairCity. This includes
developing and managing our data
portal where partners share and
develop our quantification,
modelling and scenarios work.
What interests you in the
project?
The combination of air quality and
social science. One of the side-
effects of being involved in ClairCity
is that I came into contact with a
local air quality group. I have built
a PM, humidity and temperature
measurement station in my
backyard delivering real time data
to citizen science portals.
