Following the successful Citizen Cyberscience Summits in 2010 and 2012 (see
http://cybersciencesummit.org/), we are pleased to announce a third meeting in
London on 20-22 February 2014.
By citizen cyberscience, we refer to the wide range of activities that enable
people from all walks of life to join in scientific projects through
internet-based applications such as contributing the unused processing power of
their computers to help scientific computing, classifying information, using
their smartphones to collect nature observations or building their own
Internet-enabled sensors to collect environmental information.
The summit will be structured as a 3-day event that offers scientists,
practitioners, enthusiasts, policy makers and citizen scientists the unique
opportunity to meet and discuss citizen science and citizen cyberscience,
participate in activities, and develop prototypes for new projects.
The first day (Thursday, 20th February 2014) will focus on the wide range of
citizen science activities, exploring the engagement, creativity and
participation, outreach of citizen science to the developing world, and the
undertaking of citizen science projects in challenging environments (e.g. in a
rainforest or the Arctic). We also welcome talks that deal with the growing
policy and environmental management implications of citizen science.
For the second day (Friday, 21st February 2014) we are calling for
presentations on the technical aspects of citizen science, such as: the need
for suitable hardware and software; or panels discussing with citizen
scientists about their perceptions, participation and engagement; or a showcase
of citizen science projects. Based upon the success of this event in 2012, we
will launch a ‘think camp’/’hackfest’, which will carry on to the next day and
is aimed at developing demonstrations of hardware and software that can be used
in citizen science projects or simply a concentrated discussion on a specific
topic of interest.
The final day (Saturday, 22nd February 2014) will include further conference
sessions, workshops and development of prototypes, with an afternoon talk,
presentations and awards for the best prototypes.
Overall, we hope to cover a range of topics of relevance to citizen science
research, including: technical aspects of citizen science such as use of
sensors; applications of smartphones for data collection or in combination with
external sensors; linking the Internet of Things (IoT) and citizen science –
sensor networks to human sensors; motivations, incentives and engagement
patterns; citizen science with indigenous and low-literacy communities; social
science, ethnographic and anthropological aspects of citizen science and
creativity and learning in citizen science.
During the summit, there will be an opportunity to present short papers, run
panels, organise workshops or provide showcase demonstrations. We would like to
invite anyone interested in participating in this way to submit brief proposals
of up to 750 words using the form: http://bit.ly/15SWBnw
Proposals should be submitted by 31st December 2013
Registration will open in mid-December; full details will be available on our
website soon: http://cybersciencesummit.org/.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope that you’ll be able to join us at
the summit.
Best regards,
The Citizen Cyberscience Summit Organising Committee
