Escape Citizen Science Workshop

15th-17th July 2021

Summary
This summer ESCAPE Citizen Science will be running our second online ESCAPE and EOSC Future Citizen Science workshop over three days. If you have a big dataset that could be usefully mined by human volunteers, then we re keen to hear from you. At the workshop, you will learn from domain experts how to build a citizen science project from scratch using your data and the Zooniverse citizen science platform. Two hands-on hackdays will allow you to apply the skills you have learned with experienced project builders in attendance to help you get up and running quickly and easily.

Our first workshop focussed primarily on the scientific interests of the ESCAPE collaboration partners and provided a pedagogical introduction to deploying citizen science projects on the Zooniverse platform. We would like the second workshop to have a much broader scientific and social-scientific remit, so we are inviting expressions of interest from members of the STFC Food Network. Do you have a Big data analysis that is particularly difficult to automate? Perhaps citizen science can help.

Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to register via an INDICO page that we have created for the event.

Any delegate who would like to deliver a short (approx. 15 minute) presentation about a successful citizen science project they have run in the past can register as a speaker here:
