The objective of the second edition of the Barcelona Citizen Science Day is to consolidate this event as a reference Open Forum on Citizen Science for the city of Barcelona. While the past year edition was focused on giving visibility to all the existing projects, this 2015 edition will focus on proposing transversal tools and methodologies, applicable to most of the citizen science projects.
The meeting is part of NOVUM (the Barcelona Science, Technology and Innovation Festival) organised by the Direction of Creativity and Innovation of the Institute of Culture of Barcelona (Barcelona City Council).
Participants: Researchers, Students, Science Communicators, Civic actors, Makers and anyone interested in Citizen Science.
Anyone interested should register on line
Programme
Day-long:
– Citizen Science Wishing Wall. Looking for collaborators for your Citizen Science project? Having special skills and wanting to collaborate with Citizen Science projects? Post it on the Whishing Wall!
– Citizen Science Expositor. Do you want to share diffusion material (flyers, business cards, objects..) of your project with the participants ? This is the place to drop it off.
– Discussion. Do your want to share your views/recommendations with the organizers, give your opinion during the sessions or ask questions to the speakers? Tweet with the hashtags #CitSciBCN and #NOVUM2015 and mention @CCiutadana!

Open to the public [No registration]
Public Lab, a DIY environmental science community
Liz Barry, Co-founder and Director of Community Development at the Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science
Public Lab is a two-part project — an attempt at large-scale community environmental monitoring, AND a massively distributed R&D lab for inventing new monitoring techniques and equipment. Any person or organization is welcome to base their own participatory science project in Public Lab’s infrastructure. This presentation will provide an orientation to how we work together online and in person, share attribution, learn, and advocate for change — a process we describe as «community science.»
