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?
Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences - AAPS Member Meeting
Online14:00
De 28 Out até 28 Out, 2024
Join AAPS leaders for an hour of inspiration and action-oriented discussions about how the Associations’ efforts to advance participatory sciences can engage, serve, and support you in your work at the AAPS Member Meeting on October 28th.
This event is open to active members and those interested in learning more about the work of the Association. AAPS is the leading organization and go-to resource center for both leaders and learners in this field. Together, we work to inspire new collaborations, address shared challenges, and raise awareness of the value of these projects to pave the way for future successes. Our new strategic plan outlines concrete steps to get us there. AAPS members have always been at the forefront of innovations in the participatory sciences. Let’s work together to build the future of this field.
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.

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!
