This event brings together for the second time people and groups at Aarhus University with an interest in citizen science, broadly understood to include crowd-sourced science, public participation in science, public engagement with science, scientific citizenship, patient and public involvement and more.

We are looking to connect researchers, students, research librarians and other AU staff, also with potential external collaborators, in order to get an overview of new developments in the field of citizen science at Aarhus University and how AU citizen science projects can reach citizens and other interested stakeholders. 

Please consider joining us for this event, if you are already working in the citizen science field or if you are simply keen to learn more about citizen science @ AU or discuss potential collaborations. It's free and will be fun.

To register for this event:
Download the Outlook meeting invite, open it, and send a Response. Please indicate if you would like to present your and your group's new citizen science activities (we do not want to repeat presentations from last year's workshop) and/or if you have any dietary requirements (note that lunch will be vegetarian). If you do not use Outlook, please just email Gitte Kragh to register for the event. We will allocate slots in the first half of the programme based on the number of expressions of interest to present AU citizen science activities.
