On 11 March, we explored how to grow a citizenscience project from a vague idea to a successful outcome. Using the concrete cases of Telraam, Plastic Pirates, Isala and Square Meter: Everyone can be an Archaeologist, we looked for the ingredients for an impactful citizen science project. Moreover, those who have little experience with citizen science joined our 'introduction to citizen science' that preceded the afternoon.

Finally, the time has come! More than three years after our first networking day, we are organizing a new networking and learning event at the BMCC Bruges on November 15. Just like the previous time, we offer you an inspiring keynote speaker, a series of fascinating talks and workshops on different aspects of citizen science and a pleasant networking lunch. 

We believe that the most educational and inspiring way to learn about citizen science is to interact with other enthusiasts. After the success of our previous workshops on common challenges in citizen science, Scivil and Stickydot are organising a series of four thematic workshops in a similar format.

We're bringing together citizen science actors to exchange experiences, succes stories and challenges in an online workshop. The workshop is aimed at citizen science project initiators and coordinators and will be guided by Stickydot.

The workshop will take place in English on Zoom on May 10th from 10:00 to 12:00. Participation is free, register here. 

On Tuesday April 21, Scivil, Iedereen Wetenschapper (EOS) and the Flemish Young Academy are organising the second networking event for citizen science in Flanders. Lectures, presentations and workshops are offered in English as well as in Dutch.

The networking event will take place in Brussels, at the Palace of the Academies.
