In this workshop we will present new advances in Citizen Science and we will try to understand how to balance low cost scientiﬁc tools and academic rigor. We will present several examples of successful Citizen Science projects, including nuclear monitoring, seismic sensors and air quality monitoring.

Topics:

Sustainable Development Goals and the role of technology
3D printing and the FabLab revolution
Fast advances in low cost sensors and detectors
Beneﬁts from advances in signal processing, analysis and transmission
Statistical inference in scientific reasoning
The role of inexpensive technology in Citizen Science
What to do with data from Citizen Science Projects
Open Access to data
Practical work on the development of low cost nuclear radiation monitors, seismic sensors and air quality monitors.

Grants:

A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
