Additional terms of use for the Cane Toad Challenge project:

Date: 21st of March 2020

  1. Cane toads are toxic across all life stages. In adult cane toads the toxin is concentrated in glands either side of the head, which are known as parotoid glands. Pressure on these glands can initiate the secretion of toxin as a defensive response. Ingestion of secreted toxin and/or any tissue from cane toad eggs, tadpoles, juveniles or adults, can lead to rapid heartbeat, excessive salivation and convulsions, and can be lethal.  You agree that the University of Queensland is not liable for any accident or illness or injury or death caused to you or your pet or any third parties by cane toads when using the Service.
  1. You agree to defend, hold harmless and indemnify the University of Queensland against any claims (third party or otherwise) in any way related to the use of the Service, including any costs, expenses, damages, loss, lawsuits, penalties and charges and including judgements and attorney fees for damages to property, injury or loss of life resulting or arising from the use of the application, software and provided tools. The University of Queensland is not liable for your use of the Service or for any content you upload, infringements, damage or accidents during your use of the Service.
  1. You consent to your personal information being collected by SPOTTERON and transferred out of the EU (or the country you are located) to Australia. You agree to the collection, processing and use of your personal information, including the transfer of information within Australia, for processing, storage and use by the University of Queensland.

These terms of use are in effect in addition to the terms of use of the SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform for using the specified app. Please read them carefully.

Social initiative Data Collection App
SPOTTERON

ArtSpots is a community-built art atlas. Through the App, people interested in various art forms like street art, historical or contemporary art, photography, architecture, and more can put their art observations on the map and discover art spots in their city or while travelling. The art community in the App allows exchanging with other like-minded people and contributing to a worldwide art collection.

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.

NatureSpots is a non-commercial and free project to discover nature together. In the app, nature photos and sightings of animals, plants or mushrooms can be shared with the community on the map. The app is a new initiative for observing nature and taking part is very simple and straightforward. The app is free of advertising, does not track users and takes digital privacy seriously.

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.

  • In the course of our Horizon Europe partnerships, we have developed a new data infrastructure to extend on interoperability, data exploration, and data re-use: the SPOTTERON GeoServices Platform. The platform allows data to be referenced with external data layers, be combined with digital twin infrastructure, and used for exploring geo-spatial relations. If you want to utilize the toolkit in your research project or for Citizen Science Apps, please get in contact!
