National Nature Restoration Plans: Where Does Citizen Science Fit In?
Online06:00
De 20 Out até 20 Out, 2026
Under the EU Nature Restoration Regulation, EU Member States had to submit their draft National Restoration Plans (NRPs) by 1 September 2026. These national roadmaps must set out how each country will contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems on at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030, and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050, with specific targets for pollinators, forests, wetlands, rivers and agricultural land.
So far, only a small number of Member States have submitted their plan. Although the Regulation requires public participation in the preparation of the plans, and some countries have launched consultations, it is not always clear across countries how citizens and communities can access these plans, let alone influence them.
This interactive more4nature webinar brings together partners from the more4nature consortium to unpack where the process regarding the National Restoration Plans currently stands, and – importantly – how citizen science initiatives can act now and get involved in implementing and ensuring compliance with the NRPs!
The session will include a live Q&A, so bring your questions for the speakers.
Belgian Citizen Science Inspiration and Networking Event 2024
Mechelen, BélgicaDe 12 Set até 12 Set, 2024
On September 12, Scivil organizes a Citizen Science Inspiration and Networking Day which will take place at Lamot in Mechelen. This year, we are organising the networking day in collaboration with FARO, Histories, and the AfricaMuseum. Similar to the previous edition, you can expect an inspiring opening panel, a series of interesting talks and workshops covering various aspects of citizen science, and a pleasant networking lunch, this time with a poster session. We offer many fascinating citizen science sessions on themes such as working with the media, inclusion and diversity, how to start with citizen science, and practical examples from health research and social sciences. This edition we also put an extra spotlight on the heritage sector. Within heritage there is a long tradition of collaboration with volunteers, whether or not in the form of citizen science. Through the collaboration with FARO, Histories and the AfricaMuseum, we want to ensure inspiring cross-pollination between citizen science and heritage.
Sessions take place in Dutch and English. The programme offers sessions for beginners in citizen science as well as for experienced initiators looking for more depth.
Participation is free. Are you registered, but can't come? Let us know as soon as possible and avoid a no-show fee (50 EUR).
