De 09 Dez até 09 Dez, 2023
Jon Miami EcoAdventures & local non-profit Debris Free Oceans for our monthly Citizen Science project activity, hosted at Crandon Park every 2nd Saturday. Citizen Science is a way for the general public to be directly involved in the process of scientific data collection and to be engaged in scientific thinking. The goal of this activity is to have volunteers become amateur scientists while working with a group of professional scientists to collect critical data on marine debris in our local environment.
Responsibilities and Duties: • Cleaning up the beach. • Sorting marine debris collected • Gathering and recording data.
Qualifications: Volunteers under 13 must participate with a parent/guardian present. Please brIng a refillable water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and protection from the sun (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses).

YouCount's final conference
Bruxelas (Bélgica) e Online05:00
De 04 Dez até 05 Dez, 2023
How can we shape an inclusive society for young people at risk of exclusion in Europe?
The Horizon 2020 research and innovation project YouCount explored this question through co-creative research with youth and local stakeholders in nine countries across ten cases. After two years of hands-on Youth Citizen Social Science work, YouCount will share experiences and look ahead to discuss findings and potential impacts on EU policies and beyond.
The first day includes a seminar focusing on hands-on Youth Citizen Social Science and a welcome reception.
The second day kicks off with the final conference discussing implications of key findings with stakeholders and policymakers. On both days, the voices of our young co-researchers will be amplified during presentations, interactive sessions, round table discussions and an exhibition.
The event will be free of charge and partly hybrid. Contribute to societal change through Youth Citizen Social Science
Accelerating Climate Action through Citizen Science: Role of COP 28 and Beyond
Green Education Pavilion Al Fanar. Dubai (EAU)05:15
De 02 Dez até 02 Dez, 2023
"Accelerating Climate Action through Citizen Science: Role of COP 28 and Beyond,” is organized by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), U.S. Department of State and New Indian Model School (NIMS), Dubai. Ocean health and environmental education experts and alumni educators of “Project Ocean Matters” will map the nexus between oceans and climate change; the role of citizen science tools such as the “Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment” (GLOBE), and the “Microplastic Monitoring Protocol Trial” (MMPT). A mock COP by students of NIMS, Dubai will highlight the role of youth and educational institutions in accelerating Climate Action.
CitSci India 2023

If you are interested in practical legal considerations in citizen science projects, register now. The OTTERS project promotes societal transformation for marine and freshwater stewardship through scaling up citizen science, and supports the coordination of citizen science initiatives focused on water.
This workshop focuses on legal issues around water-based citizen science and engagement (including GDPR and citizens’ privacy). Key topics of discussion will be:
● Data protection and privacy risks and challenges, with respect to marine and freshwater related citizen science piloting.
● Autonomy, dignity, informed consent, trust, asymmetries of power, fairness, gendered innovation, equity and direct or indirect discrimination.
● The cross-border character of the OTTERS project.
● Applicable or emerging legislation and anticipatory compliance requirements.
INCENTIVE Replication Guide and Toolkit Workshop
Online09:00
De 21 Nov até 21 Nov, 2023
⏳ Registration is open until 20 November, 2023.
The INCENTIVE project aims to demonstrate the potential of citizen science through the co-creation, establishment and assessment of Citizen Science Hubs in four EU Universities. By doing so, the project accelerates the transition of these institutions to more inclusive, open and democratic innovation and scientific governance, under the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation. The project seeks to deliver a legacy to European and international research institutes on how to create and operate their own Hub with the aim to secure a sustainable future.
One of the final and main results and outcomes of the INCENTIVE project is the production of a replication guide and toolkit. The aim of this guide is to serve as a practical tool for RPFOs on their journey to institutionalising citizen science. It will include roadmaps and lessons learned throughout the project, providing practical recommendations, methodologies and tools to overcome potential barriers and obstacles in the process.
To ensure that the replication guide and toolkit is as practical and valuable as possible, we would like to invite citizen science practitioners, researchers and relevant stakeholders to provide their experiences, feedback and thoughts as we present the first version of the document.
Join us for a workshop to exchange ideas, discuss lessons learned and share personal stories on the road to institutionalising citizen science. Come join us for an interactive session!
