Unfortunately ENTER Mental Health needs to defer the next of its webinar series. The Webinar has been rescheduled for Thursday 27th March 2025 5pm-7pm (CET).
The theme for this webinar is Citizen Science. The citizen science approach is a method of conducting scientific research that actively involves non-professional volunteers, citizens, in data collection, analysis, or observation. It leverages the contributions of individuals or communities to gather large-scale data or solve complex problems, often with guidance from professional scientists. This approach democratizes science, promotes public engagement, and enhances the understanding of scientific issues, making it a powerful tool for addressing environmental, social, and health challenges.
Citizen science engages the public in research, allowing citizens to contribute to problem formulation, data collection, analysis, and problem-solving. While implementing citizen science requires time, effective communication, and careful planning, its benefits include enhanced community engagement and expanded research capacity. This approach fosters collaboration, bridges gaps between researchers and communities, and provides innovative solutions to complex challenges. Given the transformative potential of citizen science for research and societal outcomes, it should be encouraged and more broadly adopted across diverse fields.
The presenters will be:
Professor Olivier Lasvergas, who will discuss the lifelong experiences with Citizens Science
Lauren Marie Campbell-Hansen, Region Zealand Denmark, who will discuss Citizens as an untapped potential in scientific research.
These presentations will be followed by a conversation on Citizen Science approaches in Europe and how this can influence the collaboration in ENTER.
Thu, 27 Mar 2025 16:00 - 18:00 (UTC+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London
We look forward to having you attend the event!
As a trial, this Webinar will be conducted using the new Microsoft Teams Webinar Facility.
