SFC Path
SFC was born in 2019 as a result of the European project D-NOSES for the monitoring of odour pollution through citizen science. Since then, SFC has positioned itself at a European level as an expert in citizen science and collaborative research, thanks to the participation in different European projects and our interdisciplinary team.

We co-create with all parts of society
The overlapping shapes of our logo speak of the collaboration between a multitude of diverse people, as occurs in our projects. These shapes are not perfect, just like the encounters between the elements of the logo: we are not afraid of imperfection, it is what makes us who we are and gives us the value we have in society. It shows fullness and voids, which speak of open science and creative thinking, and also give the sensation of depth, of how we delve into the topics we work on, and how we involve citizens from the roots.
The SFC team
We are an interdisciplinary team. We listen, explore, connect, transform... We are changers co-creating a positive impact on society
