The Engaging Citizen Science Conference promoted knowledge sharing among members of the citizen science community. The aim of the conference was to engage citizen science researchers, practitioners, and citizens in sharing research, ideas, and innovations in order to make the field thrive and expand. The conference was interdisciplinary in scope, including workshops, dialogue roundtables, posters, and demos from all main areas of research (natural and technical sciences, life and health sciences, and social sciences and humanities).
Citizen science as an interdisciplinary field holds promise for boosting scientific research, increasing public participation in scientific research, and empowering citizens in their everyday life. Citizen science covers many different initiatives and activities from crowdsourcing activities where citizens collect and analyze large amounts of data to deliberative processes where citizens are active in science-related policy-making. With roots in amateur science and participatory democracy, citizen science currently develops rapidly to include many different innovative approaches, including digital approaches, to promote and sustain participation and empowerment. This conference invited all citizen science stakeholders to come together to showcase how engaging citizen science can and should be.
We welcomed abstracts on all themes related to citizen science. Themes include but were not limited to:
Editors: Gitte Kragh and Kristian H. Nielsen
