Collaborative design of educational and urban spaces
Coimbra (Portugal)11:00
De 04 Dez até 04 Dez, 2023
Partimos da vontade de partilhar e debater experiências nacionais e internacionais sobre as possíveis ligações entre a investigação em ciências sociais, humanidades e artes e os contextos escolares e educativos. O objetivo é ampliar o âmbito de atuação das possibilidades de investigação, a partir de uma perspetiva de ciência cidadã. Para tal, partimos de parcerias e colaborações diretas entre investigadores/investigadoras de contextos académicos e contextos educativos, incluindo a partilha de experiências concretas de intervenção colaborativa nos espaços educativos e nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
Esta oficina permite, assim, concretizar um lugar do diálogo com diversos atores ligados à educação e à investigação: investigadores, professores, diretores de escola, estudantes, famílias, ativistas comunitários. Em concreto, pretendemos ampliar a produção de conhecimento sobre novos formatos de organização do espaço educativo e do espaço público das cidades, partindo de uma experiência concreta, com a EB1 Quinta das Flores (Agrupamento de Escolas Coimbra Sul). Nesta iniciativa, investigadores, professores e alunos colaboraram na criação de novas propostas para o desenho dos espaços da escola. Iremos também contar com a colaboração do Zás Coletivo, um grupo de jovens arquitetos e estudantes de arquitetura, que trarão a sua experiência de intervenção nos espaços públicos da cidade de Coimbra.
This is the 4th workshop organised by CC.EDU | Working Group on Citizen Science and Education under the Series 'Building Educational Communities'

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!
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.
Co-CiPhil: Co-creating Environmental Citizen Science Capacity in the Philippines
Cagayan de Oro City (Filipinas)De 06 Nov até 17 Nov, 2023
The MSU – Iligan Institute of Technology is currently hosting the Co-CiPhil: Co-creating Environmental Citizen Science Capacity in the Philippines VLIR-UOS International Training Program (ITP) Workshop 2, taking place from November 6 to 17, 2023, at the Chali Beach Resort and Conference Center in Cagayan de Oro City. This two-week workshop, attended by 50 scholars representing various local and international state universities, as well as local government units and medical institutions, is part of a series of workshops on quantitative and qualitative methodologies in citizen science research. These workshops are collaboratively organized by Universiteit Hasselt (UHasselt), a prestigious Flemish university in Belgium, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), and the Visayas State University (VSU). The primary objective of the International Training Program (ITP) is to systematically incorporate global perspectives, fostering a supportive, inclusive, and networked learning environment. Through these programs, professionals enhance their transversal skills and gain state-of-the-art knowledge in sustainable development, transforming into globally aware citizens capable of driving positive change within their networks.
During the first week, the workshop delves into environmental monitoring and management (Course 3) under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Natalie Beenaerts from UHasselt. Emphasis is placed on the significance of co-creating citizen science or community-based research, with a specific focus on empowering women and other marginalized groups. In the subsequent week, Prof. Dr. Thomas Neyens from UHasselt leads discussions on establishing robust study designs, particularly in the context of observational studies and citizen science initiatives. The curriculum covers the foundational aspects of statistical study design, while also addressing practical considerations in less-than-ideal settings.
