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. The candidate will advance citizen science efforts; and participate in analyzing how green spaces improve health, wellbeing and equity, as part of a contribution to the implementation of the Berlin Urban Nature Pact.
Community monitoring of natural resource system and the environment – Law meets science
Online13:00
De 21 Mai até 21 Mai, 2024
with Anna Berti Suman (Systasis) and Nerea Turreira-Garcia (UCHP). These webinars, which cover subjects including data collection, citizen science, and civic monitoring, aim to explain the legal framework of environmental preservation during times of war.
The lecture delves into case studies from the US, Europe and Cambodia to explore the use of community monitoring data for forest conservation advocacy, sanctions, and courts. The hosts for the webinars are Anna Berti Suman from Systasis and Nerea Turreira-Garcia from the University of Copenhagen.
To participate, don't forget to register below. This is the eleventh webinar in the webinar-series. Also, keep in mind that we will be offering webinars on a variety of dates and at various times, with a variety of presenters and themes. We're excited to have you participate!

Seagrass monitoring at Wave Break Island 1+2
Wave Break Island (Australia)De 22 Mar até 22 Mar, 2024
Join our Ocean Connect marine science team on their fortnightly seagrass survey to actively monitor the status and trends in seagrass conditions around the Gold Coast.
This event will be held at Wave Break Island, we will be meeting at the Marine Parade to board a small vessel to travel to Wavebreak island seagrass meadows.
Seagrasses are a habitat forming species and they play a critical role in the equilibrium of coastal ecosystems. They provide many key ecosystem services, such as providing a nursery and habitat for animals, preventing coastal erosion and sequestering a large amount of carbon dioxide. 7 species occur in the Gold Coast region and cover an estimated 22% of the Broadwater.
It is crucial to monitor these change in order to be able to mitigate widespread loss . Ultimately by protecting the seagrass meadows the wider Gold Coast community will indirectly benefit from the sustained water quality in the Gold Coast Broadwater and surrounding region, ultimately, enhancing recreational fishing, marine tourism and providing the right framework for future generations to enjoy.
Participants will be trained in internationally standardized and recognized Seagrass-Watch training and will be briefed on seagrasses ecology, importance and threats before the session.
The ongoing monitoring is supported by the City of Gold Coast Catchment and Citizen Science Grant program.
This workshop is only suitable for adults over the 16 years of age in order to maintain scientific rigor and safety.
This is an outdoor event.
Everyone attending must register as spots are limited.
Citizen Science in conservation research Workshop
Negros Oriental, FilipinasDe 14 Fev até 16 Fev, 2024
The workshop serves as a forum for fostering collaboration and networking opportunities among researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders involved in nature conservation and citizen science. Its aim is to address the challenges and limitations associated with citizen science methodologies. By discussing the practical aspects, ethical considerations, data quality concerns, and other issues related to citizen science research, participants can collectively work towards improving the methodology and creating logical framework for doing citizen science in the Philippines systematically
