Get involved in citizen science
Collaborative endeavors between scientists and civil society stakeholders have developed significantly in recent years. This growth is driven by public interest in the scientific approach and culture, as well as by the need to find solutions to complex issues (economic, social, health, environmental, cultural, educational and ethical). Digital technology has helped foster the development of this type of collaboration, drawing on both artificial and collective intelligence.
Citizen science relies on cooperation and public participation to produce knowledge in a manner that approaches the scientific, ethical, legal and technology issues of research from a broader perspective.
Finding answers together has thus become the great collective intelligence challenge of the 21st century.
L'association européenne des sciences participatives, l'ECSA, organise sa conférence bisannuelle du 5 au 8 octobre 2022 à Berlin. Cette année, le thème de la conférence est "Citizen Science for Planetary Health" L'appel à contribution est ouvert jusqu'au 30 avril, toutes les informations sont disponibles à ce lien https://express.converia.de/frontend/index.php?folder_id=4777&page_id= ...
Cinquième édition de l'appel à projet des Herbonautes 2021De la science participative et un corpus de plus 10 millions d'images réunis dans le cadre de l'infrastructure RECOLNAT sont mis à disposition pour constituer des jeux de données pour vos travaux de recherche. Depuis sa création fin 2012, Les Herbonautes ont ...

Science and music
Enjoy listening to music, annotating and learning about structures in music performance
CosmoNote was created to study the structures created and shaped in musical performance, i.e., those that arise from the decisions and actions of the performer. We are recruiting expert and non-expert participants who are curious and motivated to annotate, discover and learn about music performance.
CosmoNote uses any browser to present music recordings accompanied by visualizations of relevant descriptors. Our contributors will use interactive annotation tools to mark structures such as boundaries, transitions, note groups, found in performed music.

Butterfly monitoring for green space managers
Monitoring of butterflies in green spaces by professional gardeners to measure changes in populations and assess the impact of management practices on butterflies
Observers conduct timed species counts (ten-minute counts along a transect) three times a year (June, July, August) to identify and count the butterflies they observe.

Photographic monitoring of pollinating insects
SPIPOLL aims to obtain qualitative and quantitative data to better understand how pollinating and/or flower-visiting insect communities interact with flowers.
Participants carry out standardized photographic inventories of all invertebrate activity at a flowering plant station. The protocol requires only interest in insects or plants and basic observation skills.
