What’s on the menu?

Citizen Science is an increasingly popular approach to scientific research that involves collaboration between professional scientists, societal actors, and the public.

One of the challenges of Citizen Science is balancing the need for accurate and reliable data with the desire to engage and involve as many people as possible in the research process.

This co-organised Hot Pot will feature a panel of experts in Citizen Science who will discuss their experiences and perspectives on how to balance data quality with community engagement in Citizen Science projects. The panelists will cover topics such as the importance of community engagement in Citizen Science, the challenges of ensuring data accuracy and reliability, and strategies for achieving a balance between these two goals.

The event will include time for audience questions and discussion, providing an opportunity for attendees to share their own experiences and insights
