Fabien Moustard

Need ground information? Fabien is currently developing Wisdom of the Crowd Labs (WCL), a research-based not-for-profit organisation. With specialists of scientific crowdsourcing, he aims to create a platform of public interest, open source, where users can access local network of people to collect ground information across scales and geographies. Ground data collection is made through WhatsApp which allows to collect and access real-time and hyperlocal ground information at an unprecedented scale.
