Area of Expertise:
Plans under proposed STSM: the study under the applied STSM would use a Citizen Science platform to advance the spatial prediction of invasive forest Phytophthoras by providing the public with inexpensive location-based, time series data of unprecedented quantity and distribution. I believe this project is relevant for, and will help contribute to, WG4 tasks specifically by harnessing the interest of the stakeholders and citizens and involving them in the science through voluntary partnerships that aim at systematic collection of samples and interactive dissemination of results.

Working Groups
WG4: Enhance the role of CS for civil society
WG4 focuses on issues that are relevant to the volunteers in citizen science. The objectives of this working group are to raise awareness of the volunteers’ aims, needs and requirements from citizen science and the results that citizen science contributions have in their lives, as well as the implications for developing social innovation interventions. Due to the complexity and the importance of this WG there are several themes that currently we use to promote collaboration, exchange and share of knowledge within this COST action.
