ECLAC-LIBER Citizen Science Masterclass

We invite you to participate in the “Citizen Science Masterclass – ECLAC-LIBER” online seminars on citizen science, which will take place from November 18 to 20.

This programme, organised by the Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) and the Hernán Santa Cruz Library (ECLAC Library) of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), provides a thorough introduction to Citizen Science. It equips participants with the methodologies and tools needed to develop effective institutional policies and strategies. Additionally, it offers recommendations and best practices for creating and implementing Citizen Science projects that connect science with the community. Participants will also benefit from insights and case studies on how libraries have successfully developed such projects.
The primary goal is to demonstrate the impact of Citizen Science, highlight the processes behind research activities, and showcase how Citizen Science has enhanced research quality and contributed to identifying solutions to global societal challenges.
