23 May 2024 - Workshop - Scivil event

On 23 May 2024 from 11 am to 1 pm (CEST), the Flemish knowledge centre for citizen science, Scivil, is organising an online co-design workshop as a first step in setting up a global repository of citizen science initiatives for hydrology and water management within the Unesco Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme. We cordially invite you to participate.

What is the Citizens4Water project about?

In this project, we are developing a global inventory of citizen science initiatives in hydrology and water management. The project takes place in the context of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP).

Purpose of the repository:

facilitate projects to develop new or optimise existing citizen science projects in hydrology and water management
identify gaps in current citizen science in water management
enable policymakers to consolidate knowledge from relevant existing citizen science projects from around the world.

Through a collaborative approach with international stakeholders, the project will result in:

the development of an online repository and platform
the collection of best practices worldwide
the dissemination and promotion of the platform for permanent use.

Give your input

On 23 May 2024 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (CEST), we will organise an online co-design workshop where you can give input on the objectives and functionalities of the online repository.
