Platforms for Citizen Science, by Civic Epistemologies - Lisbon, 19 May 2015

This session, organised by the Civic Epistemologies project in collaboration with EGI.eu (European Grid Infrastructure) and IBERGRID (Iberian Grid Infrastructure), in the framework of the EGI Conference 2015, aims to present to the attending 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. 

Civic Epistemologies will present the first draft version of its Roadmap for Citizen Science.

Expected outcomes vary from "in reach" activities towards policy roadmapping. 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
