On 24 September, we will launch new working groups around several key themes within citizen science. Would you like to be part of them?

On Thursday 4 June, a follow‑up meeting will take place in Leuven, building on the workshop “Building citizen science together in Flanders”. Participants will jointly shape the mission, objectives and organisational structure of a new Flemish consultation platform and initiate first concrete actions. Those who did not attend the 21 April workshop but wish to actively contribute to the future of citizen science in Flanders are warmly invited to register.

Are you curious about citizen science and eager to develop your own project idea? During the Starting with Citizen Science workshop, you’ll shape your initial concept into a concrete project plan.

On 13 May 2026, RVO-Society will conclude its anniversary year marking its 25th anniversary. They will do so with ‘Innovation for Tomorrow’, an inspiring event centred on innovation, connection and forward-looking thinking, in which citizen science also has a clear place.

On 21 April 2026, Scivil invites everyone interested in reflecting on the future of citizen science in Flanders. Citizen science is thriving in Flanders, and this strong and diverse landscape offers many opportunities for collective growth. Scivil aims to build sustainable collaborations with the organisations and individuals who make citizen science possible. During this meeting, the first outlines will be developed for how collaboration can take shape in the years ahead.

On 2 April 2026, from 12:00 to 13:00, Scivil presented the new Citizen Science Scan 2025 report during an online webinar. The session covered not only the key trends, figures and recommendations related to citizen science in Belgium, but also the story behind the citizen science scan itself. Anyone who would like to receive a printed copy of the report can indicate this in the form below, until 13 April 2026.

From 3 to 6 March 2026, the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) Conference will take place in Oulu, Finland. Once again, Scivil and CS-NL are bringing together Belgian and Dutch citizen science professionals for an informal networking evening.
