If you use citizen science methods for research, or are considering doing so, CS Co-labs can provide support and a community. It’s a one-year project run by SEI York, creating a shared space and offering:
Discussion sessions: Share experiences, reflect on challenges, and learn collectively.
‘Clinics’: Book 1-on-1 time with experts to troubleshoot your projects or proposals.
Accessible resources: Co-developed tools and guides to support your journey.
Join us at one of our online launch events to find out more, meet the team and consider whether it would be useful for you. These events are open to any interested researchers and practitioners.
Please join the CS Co-labs mailing list to receive an invitation to the online launch events. When they’re ready, you will also receive invitations to discussion sessions (beginning September 9th), get instructions for requesting a clinic and hear about new resources. (You can unsubscribe at any time).

Every two years the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) conference brings together hundreds of researchers, practitioners in the field of citizen science, policymakers, science funders, NGOs and interested citizens. In meetings, round tables, workshops, participants share experiences and knowledge, explore the transformative potential of citizen science and make the community grow and thrive.
Conference for Advancing the Participatory Sciences (CAPS)
Alternating each year between in-person and virtual, these events offer cross-cutting symposia, interactive workshops, engaging talks, and dynamic posters. They connect people from across many contexts to highlight areas of innovation, share ideas and insights, and forge stronger relationships and practices across this field.
