A number of European recommendations - including the LERU’s advice paper "Citizen Science at Universities: Trends, Guidelines and Recommendations" - highlight the importance of creating a single point of contact for citizen science within the institution. In this webinar, organised by LIBER`s Citizen Science Working Group, four speakers share what they are doing to devise just the right solution through a three-fold approach: Current trends within Citizen Science at universities; A template for a Citizen Science Single Contact Point which your institution could start developing; A snapshot of the forthcoming Research Librarian’s Guide to Citizen Science and the possible roles research libraries could adopt to move the citizen science activities forward.

100% open collaborative research for climate change knowledge / using data mining & open science publishing. The climate crisis of the predicted atmosphere temperatures rising to 1.5C + makes it imperative that research related to climate change be put to better use by being open and digitally connected. We are concerned with making all aspects of research open, but as an example, less than 30% of research papers related to climate change are Open Access (Tai and Robinson 2018). This must change now!
