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 Europe Citizen Science App

With the COSEA App, Citizen Scientists can observe marine environments, document coastal habitats or species, and report on pollution, infrastructure and the blue economy. Their contributions on the map and activity in the app will help scientists better understand the impacts and drivers of marine factors to protect and foster a healthy relationship between humans and seas.

Social initiative Community Engagement App
SPOTTERON

The new citizen participation uses "Citizen Science" in their hometown and nationwide to get User's feedback on places. As a result, citizens are empowered to become active in a city worth living in to collect and share data themselves and to interact with scientists. This enables them to recognize the consequences of sealing, heat, water shortages, and a lack of biodiversity, and generally, how places in their own environment affect us all.

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.

Environmental Community Engagement App

Fridays for Future see itself as a horizontal, grassroots grassroots movement that acts apolitically and refers to science for the facts. To engage the global population more, this app was developed using SPOTTERON. The aim is to find out how the population perceives the climate crisis and which positive and negative emotions are associated with specific topics related to biodiversity and climate crisis.
