The first part is dedicated to citizen science and will focus on the presentation of its concept and main principles, limitations and problems that could be encountered during citizen science projects. The trainers will also share their exemplary experiences in implementing citizen science projects or related activities in different countries and universities.

The second part is dedicated to improving science communication competencies. The event comprises theoretical and practical approaches, covering topics such as the complexity of science communication, ethics in the field, navigating visual misinformation, and utilising social media tools for effective communication. Led by experts from various institutions, the session aims to enhance participants’ skills in conveying scientific information and navigating the challenges of communication in today’s diverse media landscape.
