National Nature Restoration Plans: Where Does Citizen Science Fit In?
Online06:00
De 20 Out até 20 Out, 2026
Under the EU Nature Restoration Regulation, EU Member States had to submit their draft National Restoration Plans (NRPs) by 1 September 2026. These national roadmaps must set out how each country will contribute to restoring degraded ecosystems on at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030, and all ecosystems in need of restoration by 2050, with specific targets for pollinators, forests, wetlands, rivers and agricultural land.
So far, only a small number of Member States have submitted their plan. Although the Regulation requires public participation in the preparation of the plans, and some countries have launched consultations, it is not always clear across countries how citizens and communities can access these plans, let alone influence them.
This interactive more4nature webinar brings together partners from the more4nature consortium to unpack where the process regarding the National Restoration Plans currently stands, and – importantly – how citizen science initiatives can act now and get involved in implementing and ensuring compliance with the NRPs!
The session will include a live Q&A, so bring your questions for the speakers.
Next-Gen Citizen Science: Showcasing Inclusive Wins, Empowering the Global South and Charting the Future of Environmental Data
COP17 in Armenia15:00
De 27 Out até 27 Out, 2026
As Parties take stock of progress on implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF), a critical question remains: how can countries generate the volume, frequency and geographic coverage of biodiversity data needed to support implementation and reporting? Assessments of the KM-GBF Monitoring Framework indicate that around half of its 365 indicators could benefit from citizen involvement in data collection, while nearly one-third are well suited to citizen and community participation in both data collection and analysis. Yet citizen-generated data remains far from fully integrated into national monitoring systems, NBSAPs and national reports.
This side event will present a forward-looking vision of next-generation citizen science—not simply as volunteer biodiversity monitoring, but as an increasingly robust, inclusive and scalable component of the global biodiversity data ecosystem. Drawing on perspectives from global citizen science networks, research institutions, international organizations, Global South practitioners and civil society, the discussion will explore how citizen-generated data can strengthen implementation of the KM-GBF while broadening participation in biodiversity governance.

OpenSystems: Rethinking Research through Citizen Science
SVT's meeting room (1st floor), Parkveien 9, 5007 Bergen, NorwayDe 07 Out até 07 Out, 2026
Welcome to this open guest lecture on citizen science from Josep Perelló, Professor of Physics at the University of Barcelona, researcher at the University of Barcelona Institute of Complex Systems (UBICS), and leader of the OpenSystems-UB research group.
About the lecture
Citizen science is often praised for expanding participation in research, but its deeper significance lies in its capacity to transform how research itself is conducted. By involving citizens and communities in defining questions, shaping methodologies, interpreting results, and mobilizing action, participatory approaches challenge conventional distinctions between experts and non-experts.

Postdoctoral Researcher Position on Citizen Science and Public Trust in Science
De 04 Jun até 18 Jun, 2026
Postdoctoral Researcher Position on Citizen Science and Public Trust in Science
How can citizen science increase public trust in science and foster equity in the research system? The Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of Leiden University has an opening for a postdoc researcher (0,8 fte) for 24 months to carry out a research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) under its OS-NL Research on Open Science funding instrument. While earlier research about this topic has addressed the people actively participating in citizen science (CS) projects, we will investigate the perceptions and perspectives of citizens, researchers and policy makers who do not directly involved in such projects. The project will study four CS projects in the domain of environmental science, using a survey, individual interviews, and focus group interviews.
What you will do
The purpose of this position is to conduct original research about how CS relates to public trust and to equitable research practices in environmental science, by exploring how the involvement of citizens in scientific research influences trust of other people, with special attention to those who historically experience a large psychological distance to science.

Is citizen science exploitative?
14:15
De 24 Set até 24 Set, 2025
September 2025 International PostDoc Forum for the Philosophy of Science - This program showcases virtual research presentations from international scholars with commentaries from local MCPS community members. The first speaker of our Autumn 2025 series is Rose Trappes, from the University of Bergen, Norway.
---
She will discuss "Is citizen science exploitative?" with commentary from Emilie Snell-Rood, part of the College of Biological Sciences, University of Minnesota.
---
Citizen science, or participatory science, uses the labour and expertise of volunteers to serve the needs and interests of professional scientists. Not infrequently, this involves siphoning valuable epistemic resources produced by these volunteers to scientists and databases in privileged institutions in the global north. Is citizen science therefore exploitative? And if it is, is this a problem? In this talk I consider these questions using resources from political philosophy, social epistemology, and philosophy of science, and drawing on cases of citizen science from ecology and meteorology.
World Water Monitoring Day
