Citizen science refers to activities conducted by scientists in collaboration or consultation with the public at any stage of a research project. By sharing lessons learnt and best practices within and across scientific domains, the following challenges faced by both scientists and citizens will be addressed:
Programme
9:00 – 9:10 Opening
9:10 – 10:00 Setting the scene: What is citizen science and why it matters?
10:00 – 10:20 Coffee/tea break
10:20 – 11:30 Sharing experiences: what methodologies, approaches, conditions work best to conduct citizen science? with contributions from among others the Starting grant project Lacto-Be and Proof of Concept grant project UnderSCORE
11:30 – 12:10 Harvesting session: does citizen science help pushing the frontiers of knowledge? Does frontier knowledge matter for citizens?
12:10 – 12:15 What’s next? by ERC
14:30 – 15:25 Young people engaged for the planet
15:25 – 15:30 Conclusions

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
