29 November 2023 - A symposium exploring inclusivity within environmental citizen science: where we are and where we can go.
The UK has a long history of volunteer involvement in environmental monitoring, which has continued to grow in recent years. We know that the diversity of citizen science, or community science, volunteers is not reflective of the wider population, suggesting we could do more to encourage engagement from all members of society. What is the impact of this for society and for monitoring data, and how can we improve?
This symposium will include a series of talks focussed on inclusivity in citizen science, with examples from the UK and elsewhere, and there will be time for questions and discussion.
The intended audience is those involved in running citizen science projects, but the symposium is open to all.
This event will be hosted by the UKEOF Citizen Science Working Group and is supported by UKCEH and JNCC.
- When: Wednesday 29th November 10.00-13.00 GMT
- Format: Held virtually via Zoom
Any questions, please contact Sam Amy (samamy@ceh.ac.uk) or Michael Pocock (michael.pocock@ceh.ac.uk).
Full details of the symposium are available.
