Citizen Science: New ways to engage people for more liveable cities

Join us to celebrate the completion of the CitiMeasure project! For the past two years, our mission has been to engage citizen science practitioners in developing tools and instruments for more liveable cities.

As we look back on past achievements, we will also discuss what the future holds for citizen science.

What does it take to make it more mainstream? How do we ensure that citizen science projects are accessible to all? And why is citizen participation so crucial for shaping the cities of tomorrow?

Our CitiMeasure working group members – more than 40 volunteers – spent the past two years working on behaviour and policy change as well as digital inclusion.
