Thomas Kaarsted
Deputy Library Director at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Co- Founder of the SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center
Citizen Science can bridge universities with the public and facilitate new forms of collaboration and dialogue. By using your computer or phone you can participate in science within a minute or two. But you can connect and participate in much more ways than that. This talk explores how you can contribute and make decision-makers and researchers aware of this.
