Autumn Data School - Citizen Science Workshop
Online00:00
De 15 Nov até 15 Nov, 2023
Historical biodiversity documents comprise an important link to the long-term data life cycle and provide useful insights into several aspects of biodiversity research and management. By rescuing historical data, we better understand the ocean’s past, and we are able to predict the future of ocean life.
Participants to the workshop will be introduced to scientific practices and concepts such as the workflow for a citizen science project, the data standardization process, and the (meta)data curation. In particular, in the morning session there will be the presentation of the LifeWatch Citizen Science Platform and the introduction to Zooniverse and Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), while the evening session will be dedicated to the setting up of participant’s Citizen Science projects through Zooniverse.
* Note that all data generated from this workshop will be made available through EMODnet Biology and due to established data flows, in OBIS and GBIF as well.
Participants are welcome to bring with them scanned logsheets from cruises they have participated, but in the absence of enough resources, the organising team can make documents available for the project creation in the citizen science platforms.
There is an enormous amount of (meta)data waiting to become FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), and citizen science data rescue is a promising resource towards this end.
If you are interested in participating, either online or in presence, you can register at the link.
How to make the best of citizen science for your research
Online09:00
De 10 Nov até 10 Nov, 2023
Inscrições até 8 de novembro. If you are a researcher and would like to apply the citizen science approach to your research, this webinar is for you. The webinar, How to make the best of citizen science for your research, is part of the MCAA Around the World Webinar Series and it has been created within the European Citizen Science (ECS) project, thanks to a collaboration between the Marie Curie Alumni Association and the Université Paris Cité/Learning Planet Institute. Experts on citizen science and young researchers will guide you along the implementation process and introduce the European Citizen Science Academy, one of the resources of the European Citizen Science project.
Lahore Science Mela
Crescent Model Higher Secondary School, Lahore, Pakistan01:00
De 28 Out até 29 Out, 2023
The Lahore Science Mela (LSM) is an annual citizen science festival organised by the Khwarizmi Science Society with its upcoming fifth edition planned on 28th and 29th October 2023 at Crescent Model Higher Secondary School, Shadman, Lahore (Boys Campus). The two day festival incorporates thousands of science exhibitions hosted by schools and private bodies, along with hundreds of KSS’s own demonstrations. The CERN’s LHC Interactive Tunnel, LIT Disco and exhibitions by the BioRobotics Institute of Italy are emblematic of the international projects that the Mela hosts. Volunteers from all over Pakistan sign up to showcase their science communication, media, and management skills.
Lahore Science Mela 2022 had over 200 performers presenting more than 3000 unique experiments, demonstrations, and performances from various fields, and attracted over 75,000 visitors over both days. Featuring a public planetarium and a large exploratorium with live experiments, indigenous inventions, puzzles, and demonstrations, the event was well-received, attracting people from all walks of life . The Testimonials and widespread coverage of the event speak for themselves.
Connect Collaborate Create Conference
Paris, France05:00
De 19 Out até 21 Out, 2023
This interactive conference will bridge key European communities to:
activate participatory research and citizen science involving the social sciences and humanities, and foster ethical participatory approaches to research funding. The conference will bring together the diverse European communities that create and support participatory research (funding) and citizen science. Jointly organised by the European projects COESO and PRO-Ethics, it will focus on the social sciences and humanities as well as on integrating participatory approaches at the research funding stage. On October 19-21, 2023 in Paris, at Aubervilliers, Campus Condorcet, we will welcome researchers, citizen science practitioners, and supporters from all backgrounds, research funding organisations, ethics and integrity experts, as well as policy makers, to open up a space for networking and mutually exploring citizen science/participatory research initiatives and services.

O papel da ciência cidadã na transformação das universidades
Online05:00
De 03 Jul até 03 Jul, 2023
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.
Ciência Cidadã - Impacto nas Sociedades
Online e Pádua (Itália)05:30
De 29 Mai até 29 Mai, 2023
O evento será realizado em inglês e proporcionará aos participantes de qualquer formação um enquadramento das metodologias mais comuns aplicadas em processos de avaliação económica, visando ajudá-los a compreender a lógica e o objetivo habitualmente seguidos pelos economistas nas tentativas de avaliação de projetos europeus, com particular enfoque na Projetos de Ciência Cidadã. Os objetivos do evento é de compartilhar know-how, boas práticas, exemplos de sucesso e problemas na aplicação dessas metodologias a esses projetos inovadores. Numa primeira fase, uma exposição mais teórica irá dar a conhecer aos participantes os métodos e as respetivas potencialidades e fragilidades, num contexto mais genérico. Posteriormente, exemplos do mundo real serão fornecidos e discutidos para destacar como os métodos foram implementados com sucesso e não, para extrair lições valiosas da prática. Por fim, será feita uma recapitulação dos pontos anteriores, seguida de considerações sobre os métodos de implementação e estimativa que ainda precisam ser respondidos com clareza para proporcionar avaliações melhores e mais corretas. Os convidados serão: Professora Chiara D’Alpaos (Economic Evaluation of Projects), Professor Cesare Dosi (Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Public Economics Professor) e Professor Luciano Greco (Director of CRIEP and Public Economics Professor), todes da Universidade de Padua (Itália).
