Congratulations, you came to the end of the course. We hope it broadened your thinking on citizen science, and you were able to extract, from COMPAIR recommendations, case studies and best practices, some useful ideas on how to successfully organise your own experiments in the future, to monitor air quality, traffic, or any other conditions and phenomena, in cities and elsewhere.

Vision
Before we part ways, let us share one more thing with you - our vision for citizen science. It will proliferate. As the relationship between lifestyle choices, air pollution and climate change becomes apparent, we expect that more and more people will start abandoning carbon-intensive habits in favour of green alternatives. Eventually, the unrelenting change will cover all spheres of life: how we travel, produce energy, power our economies, build and heat our homes, manufacture goods, as well as what we eat and buy as consumers. In this new reality, citizens will see good air as a human right, and they will want to make sure that air quality stays within healthy limits by measuring it with their own devices. In the future, citizen science will not be a trending phenomenon. It will be a way of life.
