Scivil Citizen Science Networking Day 2022

Scivil Citizen Science Networking Day 2022 - 15 Nov 2022 

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. 

Moreover, during this networking day, we will launch our latest guide on citizen science in education. Therefore, this networking event runs in parallel to the Digiwijs event for teachers. We hope to create an exciting cross-pollination between citizen science and education, both during the session 'citizen science in the classroom', and during the networking lunch. 

There will also be an extra focus on the topic of citizen science data, with lectures and workshops on data visualisation, data management, data-driven policy and privacy. During lunch, you can ask all your data questions at the Scivil stand, where data stewards of the Flemish Open Science Board (FOSB) will be happy to help you. 

During the keynote presentation, Margaret Gold will share her insights from the European Mutual Learning Exercise on Citizen Science. 

Margaret Gold is coordinator of the Citizen Science Lab at the University of Leiden, a knowledge hub and project incubator for public participation in scientific research. She leads the Citizen Science programme within the Dutch Programme for Open Science (NPOS), leading to the creation of the Citizen Science Nederland Network. 

Margaret’s previous experiences include work at the European Citizen Science Association, working on the projects WeObserve, Landsense and EU-Citizen-Science as well as the Natural History Museum in London as Science Community Manager, leading online citizen science projects.
