Join a unique validation event of citizen science biodiversity data!

When? Between 7 December 2022 and 15 Januari 2023

Where? online 

Finally, the time has come! More than three years after our first networking day, we are organizing a new networking and learning event at the BMCC Bruges on November 15. Just like the previous time, we offer you an inspiring keynote speaker, a series of fascinating talks and workshops on different aspects of citizen science and a pleasant networking lunch. 

Moreover, during this networking day, we will launch our latest guide on citizen science in education. Therefore, this networking event runs in parallel to the Digiwijs event for teachers. We hope to create an exciting cross-pollination between citizen science and education, both during the session 'citizen science in the classroom', and during the networking lunch. 

There will also be an extra focus on the topic of citizen science data, with lectures and workshops on data visualisation, data management, data-driven policy and privacy. During lunch, you can ask all your data questions at the Scivil stand, where data stewards of the Flemish Open Science Board (FOSB) will be happy to help you. 

There will be both sessions in Dutch and in English. 

Meanwhile, our program is finalized and registrations are open! 
Participation is free of charge. 

In response to the need identified by UNESCO to support countries who seek to develop policies in open science to society, there will be a hybrid workshop on 5 October 2022 to share the experiences from those countries/regions who have already recognised the value and power of science working in collaboration with their communities.

June 10th 2022 Telraam will introduce the new Telraam sensor. Would you like to be the first to get a sneak peek of the new sensor? Then register now for a short but powerful launch.

The webinar is part of the "citizen science for all talks" organized by the Erasmus+ project, HEIDI (“Digital Action at HEIs as a catalyst for social change in the Covid-19 crisis”). These webinars involve 2-3 short talks by experts on some aspects of citizen science. They are for anyone who’s interested in citizen science, whether you know much about it or not.

Wednesday 25th May, 5pm CET: “Data Quality for Citizen Science” with Peter Mooney and Frank Ostermann. Tickets here. 

The annual conference of the Citizen Science Association is a hybrid event with a lot of interesting online sessions. 

The Engaging Citizen Science Conference will promote knowledge sharing among the citizen science community. The aim of the conference is to engage citizen science researchers, practitioners, and citizens in sharing research, ideas, and innovations in order to make the field thrive and expand. The conference will be interdisciplinary in scope, inviting workshops, dialogue roundtables, posters, and demos from all main areas of research (natural and technical sciences, life and health sciences, and social sciences and humanities). The conference will be held on site on April 25-26th 2022 at the Conference Centre at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Under the motto "Citizen Science - Why (actually) not?" the 7th ÖCSK will take place in February 2022. The Call for Proposals is already online.
The 7th ÖCSK will take place from February 23 – 25, 2022 in Dornbirn (Vorarlberg) and thus in the four-country corner Austria-Switzerland-Liechtenstein-Germany. The event is open to researchers from all disciplines and backgrounds as well as Citizen Scientists. 

We believe that the most educational and inspiring way to learn about citizen science is to interact with other enthusiasts. After the success of our previous workshops on common challenges in citizen science, Scivil and Stickydot are organising a series of four thematic workshops in a similar format.
