The Ecsite Workrooms are individual mini-series that cover one topic in more depth. This Workroom consists of three sessions and takes place on 21 and 29 June and 6 July.

Participants in this Workroom will have the chance to learn from citizen science experts from around the world and work on real case studies. Through a series of structured exercises and interactions with other participants, they will reflect on strategies to guarantee impact in their citizen science project.

The sessions will include a mix of formats, keynotes, inspirational cases, hands-on workshops to address the implementation of impact assessment frameworks, good practices, and financial sustainability strategies

This Workroom is organised and sponsored by the EU-Citizen.Science project. This project, funded by the European Commission has an ambitious mission: to become the reference point for citizen science through cross-network knowledge sharing for citizen science participants, practitioners, researchers, policymakers and society across Europe.
