Dear colleagues and students, We would like to invite you to join us for the Citizen Science Week on September 16-23, 2024, in Oulu! Citizen Science Week is a new initiative designed to engage residents of Oulu - across all ages and backgrounds - in the essential task of biodiversity data collection. This collective effort is important for addressing many of today's pressing environmental challenges. It is also a unique opportunity to explore and identify the diverse species that surround us - many of which are often overlooked or unknown. Throughout the week, you will have the chance to expand and share knowledge, gain new experiences, and contribute to a deeper understanding of nature at both local and global levels. We invite you to be part of this exciting journey through a variety of activities:
1. Bioblitz events. Participate in two Bioblitz events where you will learn about various plants, animals and fungi while contributing to biodiversity mapping around the University of Oulu campuses and the Oulu River. 2. Course and workshop. Join our Critical Citizen Science course and an iNaturalist workshop, where you will learn how to easily identify various species using your smartphone and modern digital tools. 3. Special lecture on bird ringing. Attend a special lecture on bird ringing, where you will learn the importance of this practice in biodiversity studies. You will also discover how you can get involved and become an expert in the field.
Please, find the detailed program of the event and registration links to the Opening and Closing Ceremonies on this webpage: https://www.oulu.fi/en/events/citizen-science-week . If you want to enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, please register until September 12, 2024, otherwise come and simply join the event 🙂
Feel free to share the event with your colleagues and friends, both in and out of the academia :)
Looking forward to seeing many of you at Citizen Science Week! Katya, Mykyta, Jelena, Clem, Anatolijs. [cid:3367539e-ece3-466e-867c-8e52baefc439]https://wildlifegenomics.wordpress.com/
