SUMMARY:Roadshow event No. 2 (Barcelona)
DESCRIPTION:Date: 16 October 2020 \nLocation: online event  \nAgenda: \n10-10.10h. Welcome and introduction \n10.10-10.40h. Setting the scene – the Tordera river & Storm Gloria \n10.40-11.10h. Demonstration of a citizen observatory: overview of the citizen observatory of water (Alto Adriatico Water Authority) \n11.10-11.55h. Group work  \n11.55h-12.45h. Plenary discussion on CO implementation: social and technological dimensions \n12.45-13.00h. Recap and closing of the Roadshow event \nDuring the Barcelona Roadshow event\, the specific situation of the Tordera river during and after storm Gloria was considered to demonstrate the potential and practical implementation of a citizen observatory for flood risk management. In January 2020\, storm Gloria had affected Eastern Spain badly with high winds and heavy rains. The storm caused coastal flooding and heavy damages in the Tordera river basin. It lasted 4-5 days and generated 19-23mm of precipitation which in many regions is half of what it rains in a year. According to civil protection workers\, there was a lack of civil protection planning and this resulted in the situation being difficult to control. Infrastructure was affected such as roads\, rail network high voltage towers\, the desalination plant of the area\, and campsites. During the Roadshow event\, we discussed the potential of Citizen Observatories in the context of flood risk management and what elements come into play when implementing a Citizen Observatory. The 16 participants included regional policymakers and disaster managers.  \nIn the Breakout Room entitled ‘ In what ways could a CO help you address your info needs during a flood?’\, it was highlighted that a citizen observatory could have an amplifying effect in the community to alert and inform citizens with reliable and consolidated  information\, avoiding scattered sources. The power of social media channels could be used to spread information and reach more people. Citizen observatories were also perceived to play in planning\, presenting a complementary source\, while maintaining the role of the official administration. Finally\, the Agència Catalana de l’Aigua (ACA) will launch a project called AGORA\, to set up a citizen observatory that will inform participants about the main landmarks in a flood episode. In this way\, people would be able to monitor specific spots and obtain real-time data. Regarding the question ‘What (else) would you like to get out of a citizen observatory (from a technological and/or social perspective)?\, participants deemed it important to have information beyond actual protection plans. For example\, early warnings\, alert sensors (to anticipate effects by the hour)\, set up warnings downstream\, automatic systems of sirens or lights to translate alerts into real alerts to whoever needs them.  According to the current regulation\, “The citizen has the right to be informed of the risk he has”. Citizen Observatories were seen to help raise awareness of floods in general and of vulnerable areas in particular\, while also counterbalancing fake news. In the third Breakout Room\, participants discussed challenging aspects of implementing a citizen observatory. The quality and the veracity of collected information were mentioned as main challenges. In some cases\, the information may not be reliable or/and it could be fictitious. To prevent that\, control systems were deemed necessary. The discussion also pointed to potentially low levels of participation and engagement\, issues with use of technology and training participants\, and awareness-raising as further challenging aspects. The consensus emerging during the plenary session was that thanks to the citizen observatories\, it is possible to have improved access to people who can contribute to reducing risk and vulnerability.  \nWatch the video here.

SUMMARY:How to help scientists in the Gravitational Wave noise hunt
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is organised by the H2020 REINFORCE project\, aiming to give an overview of the first of the project’s Large Scale Citizen Science demonstrators which are the key vehicles that the project will utilise in order to bring frontier science and society together\, showcasing the issue that the citizens will be asked to help in solving\, how this activity will be performed relying on Zooniverse resources and technologies\, and how the sonification of data will allow to widen the spectrum of people potentially involved. \nIn REINFORCE\, the citizen science activities will support the optimization of the Virgo detector\, allowing citizens to learn the basics of GW detection techniques\, and how the noise signals and GW signals look. One of the innovative aspects of the project is that it aims to include diverse and underrepresented groups in science\, by providing them with tools to overcome specific barriers\, such as the sonification of data for visually-impaired people. \nMore details about the event can be found here.

SUMMARY:How to help scientists in the Gravitational Wave noise hunt
DESCRIPTION:The sensitivity of Gravitational Waves detectors is limited by several types of noise\, called glitches\, whose presence affects the quality of the data. The glitches can have various origins\, having a stationary nature (e.g. a noise signal with a stable frequency) or being transient on various timescales. In order to optimize and run the interferometers it is fundamental to identify the sources of noise and reduce or eliminate its origin.\nIn this framework\, citizen scientists can play a fundamental role by looking at chunks of data and identify the presence of noise\, creating the basis to train machine learning algorithms that will automatically recognize and isolate noise in GW data\, thus providing a monitoring of the noise with an unprecedented detail. Citizen scientists’ support will be crucial also to isolate astrophysical signals that cannot easily be modeled with the general relativity equations\, and whose shape is unknown\, such as supernovae ones.\nIn REINFORCE\, the citizen science activities will support the optimization of the Virgo detector\, allowing citizens to learn the basics of GW detection techniques\, and how the noise signals and GW signals look. One of the innovative aspects of the project is that it aims to include diverse and underrepresented groups in science\, by providing them with tools to overcome specific barriers\, such as the sonification of data for visually-impaired people.\nThe webinar aims to give an overview of the first of REINFORCE Large Scale Citizen Science demonstrators which are the key vehicles that the project will utilise in order to bring frontier science and society together\, showcasing the issue that the citizens will be asked to help in solving\, how this activity will be performed relying on Zooniverse resources and technologies\, and how the sonification of data will allow to widen the spectrum of people potentially involved. \nTo register to the webinar\, please visit here.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Citizen Sociolinguistics
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, Citizen Science (CS)\, that is engaging citizens or lay people in doing scientific research\, has gained momentum in a wide range of disciplines\, including sociolinguistics. CS has a long tradition within natural sciences\, and its primary impacts are seen in biological studies of global climate change\, in biological changes in natural habitats. \nThis workshop explores what citizen science is\, and particularly what Citizen Sociolinguistics is. It presents examples of different CS initiatives and discusses the epistemological rationale for CS\, and particularly CS projects within humanities. Important topics for discussion concern the quality of citizen data\, the ability of citizens’ protocol to produce valid data\, the level of citizen involvement in the research process\, as well as the extent to which and how CS can lead to empowerment and democratisation as stated in many recent international research policy papers. The workshop also includes the role of CS as part of an open science policy. \nFind out more here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Characteristics of Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:The field of citizen science is expanding rapidly\, and many different actors are becoming involved in harnessing the field for knowledge generation and public engagement with science. However\, reaching consensus on a common definition is still a challenge\, and perhaps not possible\, because the types of activities that can fall under the umbrella of citizen science are so broad\, and placed at the intersection of numerous scientific fields. \nHowever\, there is often a need to seek a discipline- or context-specific definition (such as for a specific funding call). The EU-Citizen.Science consortium\, in building the platform to share Citizen Science projects and resources\, has also run into this need to communicate a clear definition\, as guidance to those who would like to share their project and resources with the wider community. \nA working group was therefore formed of consortium partners\, led by ECSA and ECSA’s co-vice chair Muki Haklay\, which sought to encompass the plurality of views from citizen science practitioners and affiliated communities\, and to identify the common characteristics that practitioners expect from a citizen science project. \nThis Webinar will present the first outcomes of this process.

SUMMARY:Roadshow event No. 4 (Scotland)
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday 9 February 2021 \nLocation: online event \nAgenda:  \n10.00-10.20h Welcome and introduction \n10.20- 10.50h Presentation: Setting the scene \n10.50- 11.20h Presentation: Demonstration of a Citizen Observatory \n11.20- 12.05h Breakout sessions \n12.05- 12.50h Plenary discussion on CO implementation: social and technological dimensions \n12.50- 13.00h Recap and closing of the Roadshow event \n  \nThe WeObserve Scotland Roadshow took place on 9 February 2021\, with a focus on the potential of citizen observatories for flood risk management. The Roadshow was therefore addressed to local authorities\, regional/national policy-makers\, scientists and experts in Scotland and aimed to demonstrate the potential and practical implementation of a citizen observatory for flood risk management. The event allowed the 38 participants to learn about the basic principles of citizen observatories\, providing participants with insights of citizen science and citizen observatories and demonstrating how decision-makers are using the information provided by citizens. \nThe Roadshow began with an introduction to citizen observatories and the current situation of flood management in Scotland. The Alto Adriatico Water Authority (AWAA) then showcased the impact of Citizen Observatories\, by sharing their work with a Citizen Observatory in the management of the Brenta-Bacchiglione river basin. \nBased on this introduction\, in small breakout groups\, the participants discussed key opportunities and challenges for Citizen Observatories in flood management. Key opportunities of COs were perceived to consist of the novel means to engage stakeholders and communities at risk\, prioritising flood alleviation efforts\, providing data at different scales\, and assist with planning and land management. Key challenges of COs  were considered to pertain to data quality\, consistency and accuracy; data and knowledge sharing across actors; and ensuring stakeholder engagement and participation in the long run. \nFollowing these discussions\, a plenary discussion was held on the social and technological dimensions of citizen observatories. Specifically\, this discussion highlighted the need to involve relevant stakeholders when developing and running COs; also\, what drives community ownership\, engagement and momentum will differ from one CO to another and needs to be carefully considered in each case. \nPlease download here the full report of the WeObserve Roadshow in Scotland. \n

SUMMARY:'Bridging the gap to facilitate selection and image analysis activities for land surface monitoring' webinar
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd and final PHIDIAS Webinar of the series\, this time dedicated to Use Case 2: Big Data Earth Observations (EO). “Bridging the gap to facilitate selection and image analysis activities for land surface monitoring” is taking place next 18th of February at 15:00 CET. \nOptical and radar images observing the Earth’s land surface have become an essential source of information to address and analysis environmental issues. The diversity of Earth observation sensors make it possible to provide new insights into environmental monitoring. But as many recent diagnoses have shown\, satellite imagery for environmental monitoring purposes is particularly underutilized by the land and natural resource management communities\, the high level of technology and the need for digital resources required to use satellite imagery are the main reasons for this.  In other hand THEIA scientific expertise centres have designed and implemented proof of concept of prototypes of new algorithms that meet the information needs of environmental monitoring stakeholders\, such as land cover\, soil moisture or natural vegetation Biomass. \nMore information about the event\, the agenda\, etc. is available here. To register and join the webinar\, please visit here. \n
