Matchmaking Workshop: 25th November 09.00-12.30 CET
With Guest Speakers:
Muki Haklay (ECS) – Citizen science

Holly Broadhurst (University of Salford) – eDNA
The Danube is Europe’s second-longest river, stretching 2,850 kilometers from its source in the Black Forest to the shores of the Black Sea. In total, the Danube River Basin (DRB) and its waters underpin the diverse riverine habitats and ecosystems of 20 European countries. Because of its immense environmental, cultural and economic importance, both local and international cooperation are essential to safeguard the DRB and its ecosystems.
In our matchmaking workshop we bring together scientists doing research related to Danube River Basin ecosystems and Citizen Science practitioners, to find new ways to collaborate on the common goal of improving the Danube river’s ecological status, biodiversity and ecosystem connectivity (See our agenda below).
Please join us if you...
are involved in research and/or citizen science initiatives in the Danube River Basin
want to contribute to the health and resilience of the ecosystems of the Danube River Basin
are involved in a citizen science or other research initiative in the Danube River Basin that you would like to expand
are looking for new partners to implement (citizen) science projects or activities connected to the Danube River Basin
want to start implementing citizen science in your research related to ecosystem and river restoration, but you don't know where to start
or want to get involved in citizen science in the Danube River Basin.
