[open-science] The Citizen Cyberscience Summit programme has now been published

[Margaret Gold]

The Citizen Cyberscience Summit programme is now available and there’s
something for everyone.

Our varied and eclectic 3 day programme covers everything from policy to
DIY approaches. Whether you’re a citizen scientist, practitioner, developer
or policy maker, there is something in our programme for you.
During the summit there will be opportunities to hear talks from leading
figures in citizen science, participate in hands-on workshops and learn
about the latest technological developments. In addition to formal talks,
there will be informal networking opportunities as well as the chance for
you to shape the agenda by hosting a talk or workshop on a topic of your
choosing.
