Join Us at CAPS 2025 for a Symposium: Shaping Tomorrow’s  Citizen Science Research Infrastructure: A Co-Design Experience

👉 Whether you’re a researcher, scientist or if you are a part of CS Network, you are invited to this 90-minute interactive session focused on the main question: What services, resources, and functionalities should a future Research Infrastructure (RI) offer to support citizen science stakeholders and elevate scientific excellence?

🔎 We’re gathering lessons learned, key challenges, infrastructure needs, and future priorities from individuals who have been shaping citizen science infrastructures over the past 20 years.

🧩 This input will be used in a live, collaborative session and compiled into an open publication, ultimately informing a 📘feasibility study of the RI, an 🗃️ inventory of requirements and 🌐 community-driven vision to support the broader RIECS-Concept effort.
📅 Date: Wednesday, May 28
🕓 Time: 4:00–5:15 PM (Portland, Oregon, USA)
