#ECSA2016 and a new SPOTTERON project

Thursday, 30 June 2016 03:02

Throwback Thursday for #ECSA2016,
and there are new projects in SPOTTERON!

A while has passed since the European Citizen Science Conference 2016 in Berlin, Germany, and we still like to thank you for your ongoing interest in SPOTTERON - the Citizen Science System. And there are new things on the horizon.

PUBLIC BOARDS

Almost untouched by the digital age, bulletin boards and public notes are still hubs for communication. In this upcoming Citizen Science project, school classes and Citizen Scientists will spot, collect and classify data about the postings and leaflets and their contents on their smartphones.

We like to say welcome to the University of Gothenburg and Vetenskap & Allmänhet (Public & Science) from Sweden to the SPOTTERON partner network.

SPOT INVENTORY

As an extension to the existing spot update functionality, spots are going to have visual "inventories", containing other submissions on the same location. Since in SPOTTERON means working together, this new feature will also be available for all Citizen Science projects in the SPOTTERON network.

Horizon 2020 Invasive Species Monitoring App

The IPM-Popillia Horizon 2020 project aims to address the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe's agriculture and food safety: the invasion of the Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica. This invasive species was introduced accidentally to mainland Europe in 2014 and can quickly spread by transportation and trade. As a species with a wide range of feeding plants, P. japonica threatens the entire agricultural sector, urban landscapes, and biodiversity in invaded areas.

EFFECTIVE, a Horizon Europe initiative, targets the emerging threat to the EU's Mediterranean Blue Natural Capital. By leveraging advanced science, technological nature-based solutions, digitalization, and social implication, the project aims to develop a comprehensive scientific knowledge base and practical guidance for the application of Ecosystem-Based Management to promote large-scale marine protected areas establishment in the European seas.

TRANSEATION, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to validate a new level of ecosystem-based management by integrating social implication digitalization and nature-based solutions to safeguard and restore marine ecosystem health and services. The project focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness of marine and coastal hybrid blue-grey infrastructures and developing digital tools for monitoring, analysis, and social involvement, addressing societal challenges and promoting sustainable management practices.

In Europe and globally, substantial numbers of young people are at risk of social exclusion. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop more knowledge and innovation to create inclusive and youth-friendly societies. The Horizon 2020 R&I Project YouCount contributes to these needs by developing 'actionable' knowledge for social inclusion of disadvantaged youths in the European Union and creating better means for social inclusion through citizen social science.

Horizon 2020 Citizen Science App

The impact of plastic pollution on soil health is largely unknown. However, the amounts of plastic entering soils are equal to or possibly even more significant than those entering our rivers, seas, and oceans. MINAGRIS, an EU Horizon 2020 funded project, will investigate how plastic affects soil biodiversity, soil functions, associated ecosystem services, and agricultural productivity.

StreetMind contributes to a better understanding how environmental factors like urbanicity or climate change influence how individuals across Europe and the world feel, act, and behave. Participants make up their minds with fellow citizens and scientists and share their daily experiences of their surroundings and the environment where they live, work, and interact.
