In dit focusgroepgesprek willen we met jou praten over citizen science of burgerwetenschap. Wat betekent burgerwetenschap voor jou? Wat bestempelen we als wel of geen burgerwetenschap? Aan welke voorwaarden moet burgerwetenschap beantwoorden? 

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.

EU-Citizen.Science contains a wide array of free, self-directed training modules on citizen science on its Moodle page. The themes of the training modules range from introduction to citizen science over research design and methods, engagement and impact to communication and regulations and ethics.

At this event, we will showcase three of these training modules and offer the opportunity to meet the trainers who developed them. We will launch the final version of the EU-Citizen.Science platform and show its new features. Finally, the winners of the #MonthOfTheProjects campaign will be presented.

CitSciOz21, the 4th conference of the Australian Citizen Science Association – will take place as an online experience from 27 – 29 October 2021.

Centered around the themes of Celebrate, Communicate, and Co-Create, our virtual experience will ensure a highly interactive and engaging event, with the capacity to network with your fellow attendees, speakers, and sponsors as well as providing you with the learning outcomes and benefits you would come to expect from an in-person event.

A Coventry University led EU-funded project ‘Citizen Scientists Investigating Cookies and App GDPR compliance – CSI-COP invites members of the general public, including teachers, parents, privacy advocates, journalists university students, web and app developers to attend a half-day informal education workshop ‘Your Right to Privacy Online’. The workshop will explore privacy, data, how we are tracked online, the regulations to protect our data, and free online tools to help us reject tracking in websites and apps.

For almost three years, GRACE project partners have worked towards implementing fundamental institutional change in 6 research performing and funding organisations. With an intense mutual learning programme and a co-creation environment, six expert partners have supported six other partners in developing a set of specific RRI-orientated Grounding Actions in their organisation. These actions have provided a basis for developing tailored 8-year RRI Roadmaps within these institutions to ensure their sustainability and full implementation over the long-term.

As the project comes to an end, project partners will share their findings and provide stakeholders with useful knowledge to implement RRI in research performing and funding organisations by organising a set of eight thematic webinars.

Young people in Europe are facing many challenges with regard to social inclusion. Social participation, employment, social belonging are important examples. There is a pressing need to develop more knowledge and innovation to create more inclusive and youth-friendly societies. One way to contribute to this is Citizen Social Science with young people - Youth Citizen Social Science (Y-CSS). The Youcount project organises a series of three webinars to discuss central questions of Y-CSS and to create a network of interested people.

Iedereen met interesse voor Unesco of die betrokken is bij Unesco-netwerken, -programma's, of -erkenningen in Vlaanderen is welkom op de Unesco-trefdag. Dit jaar zal de trefdag doorgaan in het Herman Teirlinckgebouw van de Vlaamse overheid in Brussel. Ook Scivil is van de partij in de namiddagsessie "Burgerwetenschap: hoe kunnen wij bijdragen aan onderzoek?".
