The Full Story
About the Sally project
In a Live Case Project called "The Coastal Data Gap Challenge," we want to inspire people to take action to improve the ocean's health.
Mission
COLLECT DATA
SALLY fills the coastal data gap of salinity in marinas throughout the coast.
increase ocean literacy
The ocean is a vital part of the planet and it is important to protect it. Therefore we must understand how it is changing to conserve them.
engage
We want to engage people to become citizen scientist. Together we can make a difference!
Vision
sustainable boating
By collecting coastal data we hope to help researchers to devolop more environmentally friendly anti-fouling solutions and other innovations.
connect data users and collectors
We hope our website becomes a platform where citizen scientists and researchers can meet.
healthier oceans
We hope to reduce emissions of toxins in coastal waters to ensure the preservations and vitality marine ecosystems for a sustainable future.
The university
Chalmers University of Technology is a prestigious institution known for its excellence in science, technology, and engineering education. With a focus on sustainability and close industry connections, Chalmers provides innovative learning opportunities and a vibrant campus community for their students.
The course
Leading in a digital world is a course run by the Entrepreneurship and Strategy Division at the Chalmers Department of Technology Management and Economics. It is about leading and strategic thinking in a global digital world and how digital technologies have transformed industries, companies and society and how they will continue to do so.
Imagine if we could have cleaner air, cleaner water, and a more sustainable future, all while embracing cutting-edge technology. That's the promise of the twin transition. The twin transition approach acknowledges the enormous potential of technology and data to drive sustainability goals, which this website enables. The transition is critical in our efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) because it allows us to tackle environmental problems while also driving social and economic progress.
