Training on "Recruitment and Retention of Citizen Scientists"

ZSI provides second training for Citizen Science Initiatives in the StepChange project

Section: Technology and Knowledge, Research Policy & Development

Date: 23. November 2021

Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI) is in charge of training and mutual learning activities of the StepChange project. These activities build on the preliminary work conducted together with Science for Change mapping the training needs of the Citizen Science Initiatives (CSIs) organised in the project. We then compiled a targeted training portfolio tackling the needs identified beforehand.

The training schemes are presented in a series of online workshops designed on the one hand to introduce and test different engagement methods and to offer train-the-trainer materials to be used by the CSIs while dealing with their specific target groups.

The workshops take place in an online setting in November and December and are part of a wider portfolio of actions led by ZSI to support the implementation of the CSIs while also facilitating their transdisciplinary work and mutual learning.

The first training addressed the process of citizen science and was held on November 16.

The second training deals with recruitment and retention in the citizen science process and takes place on November 23.
