RIECS-Concept – an initiative touil a stron foundationfor he future of Citizen Science in Europ
Official kick-off of RIECS-Concept in Brussels
The RIECS-Concept (Towards A Pan-European Research Infrastructure For Excellent Citizen Science) officially kicked off on 30 January 2025 in Brussels. The meeting was a good start for discussing not only the objectives and closest tasks to be conducted by the partners but also the interrelations between the tasks and the consortium partners.
✅ During the meeting, Katharina Buse, the representative of the EC and PO of the project, addressed project, financial and dissemination management issues.
✅ Fermín Serrano Sanz, the project coordinator from Ibercivis, reminded the initiation of the project when the consortium quickly evolved with strong support from key actors in citizen science. The potential of the citizens in the field is underestimated, and RIECS-Concept wants to challenge it. In the project, the research infrastructure will be conceptualised, aiming to make citizen science more sustainable.
RIECS-Concept is funded by the call HORIZON-INFRA-2024-DEV-01-01 – Research infrastructure concept development.
