New Citizen Science WhatsApp Group online

Inspired by the iDiv Summer School 2019, we have created a new public WhatsApp group to serve as a direct communication channel for all members, stakeholders, and academics in Citizen Science.

Possible Goals for the the Citizen Science WhatsApp group:

  • sharing moments in Citizen Science
  • to create a direct communication channel for stakeholders, scientists and other players in Citizen Science
  • to create self-sustaining and low-threshold exchange about ideas and views
  • to exchange of knowledge and best practice advise between various players in Citizen Science
  • experience sharing
  • direct news can be posted about developments in Citizen Science in the EU and worldwide.

It is an experiment at this level, let's see if the new group can kick off.
Of course, if you have any questions about the SPOTTERON apps, you can ask them in the group as well.
The communication language will be English.

The group is open to anybody in the field and the link can, of course, be shared!

Join the Citizen Science WhatsApp group now via this invite link:

Sadly, the Signal Messenger doesn't have the option to share groups publicly, yet. We hope this will change in the future and we'll keep you posted about further developments in our Citizen Science Blog!

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.

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.

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.
