Brussels, Belgium04:30
De 10 Out até 10 Out, 2023
Citizens and economic stakeholders are the greatest assets when it comes to hitting net zero carbon emissions, tackling city-wide air pollution or building an effective biodiversity strategy. Learn about 10 cutting-edge citizen science and co-design tools that can encourage local communities to become active participants in creating more sustainable and liveable cities.
O papel da ciência cidadã na transformação das universidades

Fostering The Higher Education Sector In Europe: The Role of Citizen Science in Transforming Universities -
The European Commission is making a policy effort to provide support for the higher education system in the European Union, enabling it to effectively respond to the changing needs of society and the economy. Citizen science has the potential to play an important role in transforming the higher education system. Universities are now venturing into the realm of citizen science as a means to engage the public in scientific research, to teach science (or the scientific process) and promote alternative avenues of knowledge creation. Despite the potential advantages, citizen science is not yet widely adopted as a standard approach in high education and academic culture.
In this context, the European Citizen Science (ECS) project, which connects a rich citizen science community, wants to provide a space to exchange practical experiences in integrating and using citizen science practices in universities and to gather recommendations for the European Commission and other stakeholders in ways of supporting citizen science in the high education sector.
To do so, ECS is organising an online event for everyone (such as academics, educators, university staff, citizen science practitioners, early career researchers, policy makers, civil servants, general public and industry representatives) interested in learning about and discussing the role of citizen science in transforming universities in Europe.
Legado do Cos4Cloud para a comunidade de ciência cidadã
Online11:00
De 02 Mar até 02 Mar, 2023
The Cos4Cloud project is coming to an end! To wrap up over three years of the project and its community, Cos4Cloud and ECSA co-organise a final event for everyone interested in citizen science innovation in terms of technology, education, co-design and participatory methodologies, among others.
What can you expect during the event?
- Learn about the main project achievements and legacy of the project for the citizen science community
- Discover how you can take advantage of Cos4Cloud’s products and outputs and where to find them (13 services to improve citizen observatory technologies, the co-design methodology guide, the educational guideline, etc.)
- Celebrate the community that has actively participated in Cos4Cloud events to improve the services, the co-design methodology, and to learn how to integrate citizen science into school practice
Citizen Science and Frontier Research: ERC Annual Event 2022
04:00
De 07 Dez até 07 Dez, 2022
Citizen science plays an important role in encouraging public engagement with research and tackling real-world problems. Research involving citizens and allowing them to gain more insight into the scientific process can lead to more trust in science in general. Also, our environmental, health, social, economic and political challenges require scientists, citizens, policymakers, and in general, a broader range of stakeholders, to find new ways of collaborating with each other. By sharing lessons learnt and best practices within and across scientific domains, the following challenges faced by both scientists and citizens will be addressed: Participation and motivation: What are the main reasons for scientists to engage with citizens and for citizens to engage in science? How do participants benefit from their experience? What are the key obstacles for widening participation? Strategies for engagement: What are the best ways to attract and sustain participation over time? How can communities of practice that encourage engagement and learning be created? What is the best way to combine physical and online tools/techniques? Quality and impact: What type of knowledge can be generated and according to which standards? Is engagement with citizens a way to enhance the quality of science, or only to enhance science impact in the wider society? What is the concrete impact on scientific practices and everyday lives of citizens? What are the key enablers for citizen science?
