EU-funded project on Curating, Replicating, Orchestrating, and Propagating Citizen Science across Europe

A promotional poster for a "CROPS&IMPETUS workshop" titled "Protocols for Scaling Citizen Science". The main text invites participation in a workshop on developing protocols for scaling citizen science initiatives on Thursday 25 June 2026 at 14:00 CET. A registration link is provided: https://tinyurl.com/mvrydadj. Contact information for more details includes: Dilek Fraisl (fraisl@iiasa.ac.at) Todd Harwell (harwell@iiasa.ac.at) The poster features the "crops growing citizen science" logo in the top-left corner and a stylized illustration of two people working on a large board containing circles with letters, resembling a project management chart. The design is modern, with purple and lime green geometric shapes on a light grey background.
An infographic titled "Figure 3. ECSA Characteristics structured in five key areas." The graphic displays five colored boxes arranged in a circle, each representing a category of citizen science characteristics: 1. Core Concepts (e.g., ethics, roles, and research framing); 2. Disciplinary Aspects (e.g., methodological practices in arts, humanities, and medical sciences); 3. Leadership & participation (e.g., degree of engagement, volunteerism, and decision making); 4. Financial Aspects (e.g., funding and incentives); and 5. Data & Knowledge (e.g., data quality, ownership, and collection tools). Full citation for Fraisl et al. (2026) is included at the bottom.
