UNICA – EUTOPIA 3rd webinar: How European University Alliances can support citizen science | 25 May 2023

Promoted by Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Since January 2021, the EUTOPIA European University Alliance has been supporting citizen science through means of the EUTOPIA TRAIN project (H2020 SwafS). With this project nearing its ending, we have looked back on the ways the Alliance has allowed citizen science support and initiatives to grow and flourish. In this webinar, EUTOPIA joined forces with UNICA to bring you both a deep dive and 3 shorter case studies on how European University alliances can provide an important framework for citizen science at your university.
