Free Webinar: Future Citizen Science.
Future Citizen Science, a free webinar from Engage 2020, will discuss science shops and participative research as a vision for the future of citizen science. It is based on a work strand of the Engage 2020 project. The resulting work has been developed through a series of workshops with external experts. Engage 2020 is conceived to investigate and assess existing and developing new tools and methods as well as approaches to “public engagement in science.” The online workshop will look more closely at a vision developed for citizen science and related fields of participative research in the future. This webinar is from Noon-2 p.m. on Friday, December 12, 2014.
