Happenning now! If you’re at the #EGU25 today come hear my presentation on #citizenscience #SDGs and co-creating with communities in room -2.33.

📢📣Our new paper, "New Directions in Mapping the Earth’s Surface with #CitizenScience and #GenerativeAI," is out:
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We show how integrating #AI with citizen science & #EarthObservation could result in a step change toward mapping the Earth's surface.

The editorial features our recent #paper in #NatureSustainability and emphasizes that #citizenscience and #AI can help address key data gaps in the #SDGs and address each other's challenges, but they, especially #ArtificialIntelligence, must be implemented responsibly: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

From the latest @natureportfolio.nature.com #editorial:

#Citizenscience #data might just be the medicine that the doctor ordered. All those who participate in this #research must be encouraged, and the research itself needs to be appropriately funded": www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Excited to be part of the #RIECS-Concept project! Funded by #EuropeanCommission, RIECS will conceptualize "the infrastructure" for excellence in #citizenscience. More will follow 🔜

Thanks for the post @leashanley.bsky.social!!

It's been some time since @cropscs.bsky.social project meeting in beautiful #Camogli and since we wrapped up the first year of the project.

CROPS is an #EU funded project aiming to transition #citizenscience from small-scale to a European and global level. For more info: crops-cs.eu @iiasa.ac.at

Congratulations to IIASA citizen science expert @dilekfraisl.bsky.social for her contribution to this important work 👇🏽

Honored to be one of many contributing to the success and impact of @iiasa.ac.at

Citizen Science, Artificial Intellgence #AI, Sustainable Development Goals #SDG - how are the three linked? A new paper, led by @dilekfraisl.bsky.social and colleagues from @iiasa.ac.at is exploring how they can work together #CitizenScience #ParticipatoryResearch www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢🥁Our new paper: Leveraging the Collaborative Power of #AI & #CitizenScience for #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs is published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social today: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📣 The recent CitSci Africa conference in Nairobi showcased the power of regional networks. The Citizen Science Global Partnership, which Fraisl and colleagues represent, are ready to guide UN agencies in leveraging citizen data for the SDGs and sustainable development.

💡 Funding Matters: sustainable data-gathering needs funding, including pay for participants, where possible, especially in underserved communities.

✅ Existing Partnerships: #citizenscience initiatives and academia collaborate with robust methods for #data and policymaking, supported by associations like the Citizen Science Global Partnership and the European Citizen Science Association.

🌍 How can citizen science drive the #SDGs?
In a recent @natureportfolio.bsky.social correspondence piece, IIASA citizen science expert @dilekfraisl.bsky.social & colleagues emphasize two key points 🧵
