The next Scivil Citizen Science Networking Day will be held at Aeropolis in Brussels, near Schaerbeek station. This year, Scivil is organising its networking day in collaboration with Beweging.net, VITO and VUB.
Participants can expect an inspiring keynote, a series of engaging talks and in-depth workshops covering various aspects of citizen science, as well as a pleasant networking lunch. The (preliminary) programme is available here, and
The programme offers a wide range of engaging citizen science sessions on topics such as effective communication, inclusion and diversity, how to get started with citizen science, and practical examples from citizen science in the city, biodiversity and the environment, the heritage sector, and the Global South. This edition also places a strong focus on policy impact, exploring how citizen science can contribute to meaningful change in policy and society. Together with its partners, Scivil will examine how insights and data from citizen science can feed into policy processes, societal dialogue, and concrete action.
The programme is designed for both newcomers to citizen science and experienced practitioners seeking more in-depth insights. Participation is free of charge.
