Organised by the Civic Epistemologies project in the framework of the EGI Conference 2015, in collaboration with EGI.eu (European Grid Infrastructure) and IBERGRID (Iberian Grid Infrastructure), this session will present to the EGI scientific communities platforms for and use cases of citizen science, covering the wide range of potential capabilities (such as desktop computing and pattern recognition) usable in a huge variety of disciplines, from biodiversity to digital social sciences and humanities.
Expected outcomes vary from “in reach” activities towards policy roadmapping.

 

Civic Epistemologies will attend this session presenting the first draft version of its Roadmap for Citizen Science.

The session is addressed towards policy makers, platform developers and any initiative or community supporting citizen science.

Venue: Lisbon, ISCTE-IUL
Avª das Forças Armadas
