Public Summary
This project develops a universal, open-source field-data-logger that makes field measurements FAIR from the beginning. The logger supports traditional and IoT-based data collection, generates standardised metadata right from the start of the measurements, and is compatible with the most common field sensors. Through an iterative, community-driven design process, the logger is tested in various applications, and documented with production manuals, documentation, training materials, and scientific publications. In this way, the project promotes reproducible, reusable, and interoperable field data for researchers, citizen scientists, and various disciplines in the natural and technical sciences.
