The first session of 2024 of the iiiUC trainings: Tools to support research, is dedicated to the topic of Citizen Science at UC: Cocreation activity.
Citizen science is increasingly being used as a tool to deal with social, environmental and territorial issues. At the University of Coimbra there are several projects and initiatives in various areas of knowledge that we would like to present.
The Citizen Science hub at/with the University of Coimbra (CC@UC) aims to foster collaboration and join forces between multidisciplinary groups at the University of Coimbra (UC) and other stakeholders (e.g. society in general, NGOs, business professionals, industry and the public sector) to share resources, experiences and knowledge in the area of citizen science.
The main objectives of this session are:
1) understand the concept of citizen science, its development in Portugal and present some of the citizen science projects developed at/with the UC.
2) to discuss and co-develop a detailed plan for the CC@UC hub, including a description of the mission, objectives and future activities involving the UC community.
The session will be conducted by:
- Ana Santos Carvalho, Instituto de Investigação Interdisciplinar
- Catarina Silva, Center for Functional Ecology
- Filipa Bessa, Center for Functional Ecology
- Rita Campos, Center for Social Studies
This training will take place on January 30th 2024 at 2:30 pm.
This iiiUC event is online, in Portuguese and open to the entire University of Coimbra Community.
