As the Cos4Cloud project is coming to an end, Cos4Cloud and ECSA are co-organising a final event for everyone interested to learn about the project’s main achievements, discover how to use Cos4Cloud’s products and celebrate the community that has actively contributed to the project.
What is Cos4Cloud?
Cos4Cloud is a H2020 project to boost citizen science technologies. The project has developed 13 tools and services that address the technological challenges shared by citizen observatories. The services can help COs to increase the quantity and the quality of observations, and improve interoperability among others. Cos4Cloud will make these services available on the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), so that anyone can choose the one(s) they are interested in.
What can you expect during the event?
- Learn about the main project achievements and legacy of the project for the citizen science community
- Discover how you can take advantage of Cos4Cloud’s products and outputs and where to find them (13 services to improve citizen observatory technologies, the co-design methodology guide, the educational guideline, etc.)
- Celebrate the community that has actively participated in Cos4Cloud events to improve the services, the co-design methodology, and to learn how to integrate citizen science into school practice.
