Every year, Trust for Sustainable Living hosts an international essay competition focused on a major sustainability challenge. This year’s theme for both competitions is PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY, as the UN Decade on Biodiversity draws to a close.
This webinar, hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data and GIZ will be an opportunity to present CGD guidelines on production of better quality CGD that can be used for policy and decision-making, but also complement official statistics.
The Open Innovation in Science Center (https://ois.lbg.ac.at/) has started the PPIE program (https://ppie.lbg.ac.at), to support the participation of citizens in Austrian research institutions with funds between € 20,000- € 60,000.
Ground Truth 2.0 was a 3-year EU funded project that set up and validated six citizen observatories in real conditions, in four European and two African demonstration cases.
We’ve been looking for ideas that provide fantastic opportunities for citizen scientists – or the wider public – to validate what satellites observe or to put those images to use. The CSEOL Call went out around the world, with great ideas coming in from four continents. We’re now moving into the implementation phase – where the four CSEOL pilot preparing their projects, implementing their project, all working towards a Demo Day, where they demonstrate what their project has achieved.
Our goal is to take great ideas to funding in less than 6 months – in a competitive setting.
