Global Survey on Opportunities for Citizen Data in addressing Infectious Diseases
OnlineDe 20 Nov até 30 Mar, 2025
With the support of the Wellcome Trust, the Global Partnership is undertaking a scoping study in order to institutionalize the production and use of citizen data in the response to and prevention of environmentally sensitive infectious diseases, including cholera, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and arboviruses (including dengue and yellow fever).
This survey is intended to collect insights to better understand the opportunities, challenges, and skills-building needs required to institutionalize citizen data for the prevention and response to infectious disease, and the policy priorities thereafter. We also seek to identify organizations that have experience in this area of work as potential partners.
More specifically, this survey aims to:
Identify producers of inclusive data and citizen data
Understand the needs of actors in the infectious disease field that can benefit from inclusive data and citizen data
Identify skills and capacity needs for citizen data use.
This survey is open to anyone who is carrying out work on citizen data, inclusive data or infectious diseases. We are particularly interested to hear from: grassroot organizations, governments, non-governmental organizations, academia, research organizations, networks and communities of practice.
Definitions
Citizen data
Citizen data is defined as data produced by and with sufficient engagement of citizens, communities, civil society organizations and other actors at the design and/or collection stages of the data process, with the aim to inform decision making, responding to specific needs of a community, supplementing existing data from the National Statistical Systems at various levels, or filling data gaps. By sufficient engagement, we mean citizens partner equally with producers of data to share planning and decision-making responsibilities or citizens actively control the entire data process, showcasing collective agency.
Inclusive data
Inclusive data refers to data that is representative, especially of those who are often marginalized, ensuring that data are collected for all people, regardless of their location, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, or other characteristics. Inclusive data goes beyond data disaggregation, looking across the data value chain - from data collection, analysis through to its dissemination uptake and use.
Infectious disease
In this context, we refer to infectious diseases as illnesses caused by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, or parasites whose spread, transmission, or severity is influenced by changes in environmental factors and climate patterns. Examples of diseases include cholera, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and arboviruses, such as dengue and yellow fever.
This survey will take ~10 minutes to complete. Your responses are treated with confidentiality and will be reported as part of aggregate quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Plastic Pirates Summit 2024
BluePoint, Brussels, BelgiumDe 05 Nov até 06 Nov, 2024
Join us to discuss the bigger picture of engaging young Europeans, combatting plastic pollution, and promoting citizen science in the European Research Area. Discover its impact on the Mission Restore our Oceans and Waters by 2030. At the summit, you will be getting the unique opportunity to learn about and discuss together with young adults, teachers, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders:
What are the scientific findings of Plastic Pirates – Go Europe! On plastic pollution in European rivers and oceans?
What have we learnt about plastic pollution sources, pathways and hotspots?
What was the experience for young adults in the citizen science initiative across Europe and what can we learn from their feedback?
How has participation affected their knowledge and attitudes?
How does citizen science and engagement contribute to the monitoring and implementation of EU policies for ocean and waters
What has been learned over the course of the project from upscaling and Europeanising a citizen science campaign to 13 European countries?
What kind of lessons can be drawn for local, regional, national and European public engagement, for combatting plastic waste pollution, for supporting citizen science initiatives, and for the European Research Area as a whole?
Postdoc (f/m/x) Citizen science, biodiversity and urban greening plans in Europe
EuropeDe 13 Jul até 23 Jul, 2024
Application deadline: 23.07.2024 -- The UrbanNaturePlans+ (UNPplus, UNP+) project will help develop the next generation of Urban Greening Plans in selected European cities (Mannheim, Berlin, Leipzig, Burgas, Belgrade, Paris, Barcelona), aiming to foster a systemic, integrated, and inclusive planning framework toward bending the curve of biodiversity loss. The UFZ will contribute to UNP+ by advancing citizen science to monitor biodiversity (with a focus on butterflies), and empower citizens and administrators to take more informed decisions on urban green areas.

ISEED Final Conference in Brussels
Bruxelas, BélgicaDe 11 Jun até 12 Jun, 2024
ISEED members will meet for our Final Conference in Brussels, Belgium. The event will happen on the 11th and 12th of June 2024, sharing our research outcomes, also with a broader public and relevant stakeholders. We answer some questions about this important event.
What will be done at the event?
The ISEED final conference will review and invite reflection on the achievements of the ISEED project. We have been working to understand the challenges of polarisation, disaffection and exclusion that affect European democracies today, and how and whether public inclusion in science-based knowledge discussion and development can foster participation and collaboration in Europe.
The conference will collect and present our key research outputs, innovative technical tools, our case-study outcomes, and share insights from our multi-stakeholder workshops. A special part of the programme will be devoted to the recommendations shared in our policy brief series.
What are the preparations for the event?
The programme for the two days is under development but expect a discussion of the citizen science initiatives we have been following as well as deep philosophical conversations around what it is to foster inclusive participation in European democracies today. The meeting will take place at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Brussels meeting space.
What to expect from the event?
Expect an engaged and multifaceted discussion of how citizen science can support and in turn be supported by participatory democracies in Europe.
Stay tuned and follow up on what the event will bring!

3ª edição do Alien CSI Bioblitz
EuropaDe 24 Mai até 26 Mai, 2024
Alien CSI Bioblitz: a citizen science project to engage society in invasive species monitoring.
WHY THIS EVENT
There is no sign of saturation in accumulation of alien species (AS) introductions worldwide, while the rate of spread for some AS seems to be increasing. Particular attention must be dedicated to Invasive Alien Species (IAS), i.e., AS that harm biodiversity and ecosystem services, or have a negative impact on the economy or human health. Managing biological invasions depends on accurate, detailed and up-to-date information on occurrences, distribution, pathways and impact of IAS at varying spatial scales across Europe and indeed globally. The challenges of gathering information on AS are recognized, but recent developments in citizen science (CS), that is, the involvement of citizens in data collection or analysis for research projects, provide an opportunity to improve data flow and knowledge on AS. Further, it ensures effective and high quality societal engagement with the issue of IAS.
TAKE ACTION
Choose your region and check how to collaborate and help scientists detect IAS in your area!
