About this Event

As part of a week of events celebrating the launch of the new Office for Open Science and Scholarship we are hosting a lunchtime webinar focusing on Citizen Science and the opening up of science to anyone who wants to contribute to the development of knowledge.

One of the eight pillars of Open Science, Citizen Science is a rapidly developing area full of exciting opportunities to try something new with your research. Join us and find out more about Citizen Science, what you can use it for, and how to get started using it in your own research, as well as showcasing examples from across UCL. Featuring an introduction to Citizen Science and lightning talks from across the university, we aim to show you the breadth of possibilities and hope that you will be able to join the discussion, learn about Citizen Science, and get some ideas for your next project!

Speakers include:

• Muki Haklay (ExCiteS and Mapping for Change)
• Danielle Purkiss (Big Compost Experiment)
• Rosie Brigham (Monument Monitor)
• Mayssa Jallad (RELIEF project in Lebanon)
• Kate Jones (Bat Monitor)
