Would you like an opportunity to share difficulties and feedback? Do you feel you would benefit from some insight from colleagues across Europe? Welcome to the EUTOPIA TRAIN Citizen Science Clinic!Link opens in a new window The Clinics are an online workshop series specially designed to share challenges and ideas for your citizen science work.

CS Clinic 8: How to engage citizens in different cultural contexts? Thursday, March 30, 16:00 – 17:00 CET (15:00-16:00 GMT) When it comes to involving citizens in your research project, we tend to learn that one size does not fit all. Not only when a new project starts, but often also within the project itself, it is always necessary to adapt your approach in order to align with different audiences and meet their needs. Do you have a particular experience or challenge in this regard? Let us know and we will explore possible solutions together in this clinic.
