#CitSciOnline EMCR Symposium

The EMCR half-day Citizen Science Research Symposium aims to unite citizen science-aligned researchers in Australia to interrogate and explore research and practice in citizen science across the country. The event will be hosted online on Wednesday 7 October 2020, from 1.00 to 5.00 pm AEDT.

The event features talks from citizen scientists, perspectives of researchers, a Q&A, and networking opportunities. This event is a starting point for a community of practice in citizen science research, uniting interdisciplinary researchers, citizens and others from outside of institutional settings.

The event is part of an series of #CitSciOnline community events happening in October, which will cover disaster response, innovation in citizen science and connections and partnerships.

Whether you are an aspiring citizen scientist, researcher, program leader or interested community member, CitSciOzOnline has you covered and will hopefully inspire and invigorate you as we head towards the end of this most challenging year.

Carer and accessibility grants

Through the Theo Murphy Initiative (Australia), the Australian Academy of Science is offering a number of grants to support participants with caring responsibilities and those who might require accessibility support to participate in the #CitSciOnline EMCR Symposium on 7 October 2020.

The grants are designed to reduce participation barriers for those attendees who may not be able to attend the symposium without support.

The funds from the grant can be used to cover costs that would enable your attendance, for example:

  • securing childcare access for the day
  • hiring a nanny
  • covering the cost of a carer
  • renting a co-working space if you don't have reliable internet access*

Applications are open to registered attendees only. Once you register you will receive information on how to apply. All applications will be subject to a competitive selection process and grants will be awarded based on need.

If you have any questions, contact Laura Navarro at laura.navarro@science.org.au

*Please refer to the COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions in your state to see if this option is safely available in your city.
