SUMMARY:Want to Join the Fight Against COVID-19? Help Scientists With Their Coronavirus Research From Your Home
DESCRIPTION:Discover and SciStarter are hosting a live\, online Citizen Science Month event looking at three COVID-19 research projects that need your help.\n\nOn Wednesday\, April 15\, at 3 p.m. EDT\, Discover and SciStarter will host a live-streamed event on Zoom and Facebook to introduce you to three scientists leading COVID-19 citizen science projects that need your help. The event is part of Citizen Science Month. \nIn the discussion\, you’ll learn how to identify behaviors that influence risk; crowdsource the COVID-19 pandemic in real-time; play an online game to fold and design proteins for scientific research. \nAnna Funk\, associate editor of Discover magazine\, will moderate the discussion. We’ll provide step-by-step guides so we can get involved in real-time\, online\, together. You can create your SciStarter account (free) and get familiar with the three COVID-19 projects before the event by visiting SciStarter.org/COVID-19. You’ll also find the event live at Discover’s Facebook page\, facebook.com/DiscoverMag. \nHere are the projects that scientists will discuss: \nCOVID-19 Citizen Science – Take part\nScientists at the University of California\, San Francisco\, hope to enroll 1 million people in “real-time epidemiology” research. This program\, called COVID-19 Citizen Science (CCS)\, starts with an initial 15-minute survey about a volunteer’s health and daily habits. The program will follow up with subsequent questions throughout the study\, which will be sent via an app or text message. \nVolunteers can even offer up their GPS location and\, eventually\, highly detailed information like blood pressure\, weight\, blood oxygen levels\, body temperature\, exercise and sleep. That information would come through wearable devices like Fitbits. \nBy tracking a huge number of people over time\, the researchers hope to identify factors that change the risk of infection and what happens afterward. The more people get involved\, the more statistically significant the results will be. \nCOVID Near You – Take part\nHealth officials can’t fight the coronavirus pandemic without knowing where infections are. \nNow\, researchers have created a way to track people with COVID-19 symptoms\, even if they still can’t easily test and diagnose who actually has the disease. \nThe effort is called COVID Near You. Anyone in the U.S. can use the initiative’s website to self-report their location and how they’re feeling. The researchers work with national and local officials to monitor potential hot spots. \nFight COVID-19 with FoldIt – Take part\nYou wash your hands thoroughly and stifle your natural hugging urge\, but what else can you do to battle COVID-19? Join the FoldIt project! \nThere\, you will play a free online game in which the goal is to design an antiviral protein that targets the dangerous virus. \n  \n  \nFor more information\, visit here. \nFind more than 100 online events taking place this month at CitizenScienceMonth.org .

DESCRIPTION:The City of Mannheim\, and ICLEI Europe are pleased to announce the 9th European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns. The conference will take place from 30 September – 2 October 2020 in Mannheim\, Germany. \nThe conference will demonstrate the urgent need for local governments to assume responsibility for urban transformation and lead the way in guiding Europe towards a secure and sustainable future. The world is facing major environmental\, economic and social challenges that require a substantial transformation in all aspects of society. Without this transformation\, global and European self-set goals like the Paris Agreement\, the Sustainable Development Goals and the Europe long term strategy on GHG emission reduction will remain unreachable. \nThe 9th European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns is your chance to become part of a transformational movement. Join over 800 participants from local and regional governments\, European and international institutions\, multilateral organisations\, the research community\, business and civil society. \nRead more here.

SUMMARY:Observing the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities in Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:The WeObserve project hosted a special event\, “Observing the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities in Citizen Science”\,held on 9 Oct 2019 in Brussels in cooperation with the European Commission. It brought together four sister projects on Citizen Observatories (COs) for Environmental Monitoring\, funded by H2020 and launched in 2016\, and commission representatives working closely with citizen science initiatives. \nThe participating CO projects (LandSense\, GROW Observatory\, Scent\, and Ground Truth 2.0)\, which have either concluded their activities or are in their final year\, showcased their achievements and shared best practices. The focus of the event was an exploration of the challenges facing COs to generate forward-looking solutions and recommendations that can help improve sustainability and increase impact for ongoing and future COs. \nThe WeObserve project has identified three key challenges for mainstreaming COs that framed the event discussions:\n1. AWARENESS – Improving awareness of COs and citizen science activities;\n2. ACCEPTABILITY – Increasing quality and acceptability and showcasing the added value of COs;\n3. SUSTAINABILITY – Creating longer-term systems and transition processes that can sustain and scale up CO activities. \nWithin the three key challenges\, and based on their experiences in running COs\, the attending project representatives presented obstacles facing COs. Following the presentations\, in-depth discussion sessions further explored select obstacles and sought to formulate forward looking recommendations and solutions for the benefit of ongoing and future CO projects. A designated breakout group tackled each of the three challenges: Awareness\, Acceptability\, and Sustainability. Event participants were able to consecutively join two of the three topical discussion groups. \nTo find out more about the event\, as well as the presentations and aavailable material\, please visit here.
