We now have a statistics page for the #Nachtlichter project, updated every night: https://nachtlichter.geographie.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/dashboard/

In the last week, we classified over 7000 light sources 🎉

While that's great, we need to pick up the pace to reach our goal by the end of October. If you're into #CitizenScience and #LightPollution, check it out, and help contribute your own data: https://nachtlicht-buehne.de/nightlights

Twice a year I produce datasets from community #repair #data for publishing as #OpenData They get downloaded by some pretty impressive institutions and a lot of students. Today a very, very large manufacturer of domestic appliances downloaded the data saying "We would like to identify fault codes". This makes me so happy! :blobsmilehappyeyes: #CitizenScience #Data

What will #citizenscience look like in 5 years?
That is what our partners from @nesta_uk were asking the @ArsElectronica festival-goers today!
from air pollution-detecting toys to integrated community smart apps, it was so much fun to think about the future of #citsci!

Congratulations once again to the #EUCitizenSciencePrize winners!
In May, projects were rewarded for their contributions to #CitizenScience. Today, they'll be presented at @ArsElectronica
Citizen Science is about moving research closer to us-thank you for making this a reality!

How can we shape an inclusive society for young people at risk of exclusion in Europe, and what role can #CitizenScience play?

Dec 4 and 5, the final conference of YouCount, a Horizon project in 9 European countries, will take place in Brussels. The first day will focus on 'Youth Citizen Social Science' in practice, on the second day the main results and policy implications of the project will be discussed. Highly recommended for social science professionals!

Two years ago, Transition group Zero Carbon Guildford moved into a former New Look high street store and transformed it into a buzzing community climate hub.

Volunteers set up a library of things, community fridge, zero waste shop, baby clothes library, business network and a vertical farm growing salad crops.

They ran cinema, quiz and open mic nights, a food waste feast along the high street, and a climate conversation group.

They trained energy advisors and citizen scientists to test the local river’s water quality, and hosted dozens of groups from other communities who wanted to create a hub just like theirs.

In two years, they reckon their projects have saved a whooping 583 tonnes of CO2 emissions from their community.

It shows how people who are concerned can come together, and have a real, tangible impact and engage whole new audiences with some volunteer power and a meantime space. It’s why they won innovative UK climate project in the Climate Coalition’s annual awards this year.

Now their lease is up, and they want to take Zero Carbon Guildford to a new home and the next level. They’ve set up a crowdfunder, hoping to find out what they could achieve with great capacity and a more permanent space.

Find out more and their advice for anyone else setting up a similar community climate hub: https://transitiontogether.org.uk/building-community-action-through-climate-hubs/

The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission published a guide with inspiring practices like the Comon Gent project in De Krook library of Ghent.

A recent shiny app I developed with 2 researchers who are #citizenscience #iNaturalist nerds https://posit-connect-unsw.intersect.org.au/infinitylists/

Transition citizens scientists have found one of Britain’s rarest bats, the Barbastrelle. 🦇

Transition Woodbridge has been helping their community to monitor local bats, putting up 190 detectors in gardens, care home grounds and at the National Trust’s Sutton Hoo. University of Suffolk researchers are using the audio recordings gathered to learn about the health of local eco-systems and how to protect bats' roosts.

Jane Healey (pictured in action) from the group said: "It's nice for people to feel they are contributing to the national or international picture, even though it seems like 'just my garden'.

"I have all sorts of conversations about it. Having had the Covid pandemic there's still a wish to be a community, so it's real 'citizen science'.”

The rare bat was one of 10 bat species found, and it’s helping to generate more interest locally on how to protect roosts, insect populations and the habitats bats rely on.
