Check out news, updates, opportunities to participate and other information associated with iSpot project collaborations (i.e. Cos4Cloud, DECIDE etc). See project descriptions here.
Registration is open to join the first two Cos4Cloud co-design sessions and iSpot users have the opportunity to be part of the co-design community! Cos4Cloud is a European Horizon 2020 project to boost citizen science technologies and Spotnature.org is one of the four biodiversity citizen science observatories that are part of this initiative. The first workshop on Wednesday March 10, 2021 focusses on the Cos4Cloud Mobile Observation Integration Service (MOBIS) a service that will allow citizen scientists to customize their own project by collecting and combining all sorts of useful information from photographs or low-cost sensors linked to a mobile website or a native app platform. While for the second workshop on Thursday, March 11, 2021 you are invited to contribute to co-design Cos4Bio & Cos4Env platforms , two online platforms aimed at integrating observations on biodiversity (Cos4Bio) or environmental (Cos4Env) monitoring from various citizen observatories, potentially an enormous number of observations. Click here for more information.
The DECIDE project is seeking keen nature enthusiasts and biological recorders, like you, to test the DECIDE Tool as you record and add butterfly and moth observations to iSpot. This is a special invitation to be part of the iSpot DECIDE User Group and play a key role helping with testing, providing feedback and evaluation; contributing to the further development of this tool. Join a DECIDE project iSpot iForumLIVE! chat discussion on Thursday July 28th at 5 p.m. BST and find out more.
