JERICO-S3 Low-cost sensors and citizen science workshop
Will take place in Brest, September 14-15
Save the date and discover the world of ocean observation and citizen science at the upcoming JERICO-S3 WP6 Low-cost sensors and citizen science workshop. Held in Brest on September 14-15, this event promises to shed light on the concept of frugal ocean observation and its potential impact on ocean literacy.
Recognizing the vital role the ocean plays in our planet’s ecosystem, the OBAMA-NEXT project supports that ocean observation should be accessible to all, not just experts. Citizen science, a collaborative approach involving public participation in scientific research, is at the heart of this workshop. By empowering individuals to contribute their data and observations, we can democratize marine observation science, making it more sustainable and cost-effective while fostering informed decision-making. Indeed, OBAMA-NEXT will also explore the potential for using citizen science to provide relevant biodiversity information, particularly in Work Packages 2 and 3.
Join us for a series of engaging discussions, concept pitches, and keynote speeches featuring leading experts in low-cost sensor development, coastal research, and citizen science initiatives. Together, we will explore the possibilities of low-cost technologies for monitoring marine properties and foster greater collaboration in the coastal domain.
Register now and embrace this unique opportunity to become part of a movement that revolutionizes ocean observation and shapes the future of our oceans.
