26 short articles about the ambition and meaning of citizen science are waiting for you in the new blog post. All of them were written in the course of the Austrian Citizen Science Conference 2020. We look forward to numerous readers!

Tomorrow is the next lecture in our citizen science lecture series. Gernot Neuwirth from Naturschutzbund Österreich will tell us all about naturbeobachtung.at. You can still register for the lecture until 21.04.2021 at 08:00 in the morning. You can find the link to the registration as well as a short summary of the lecture in the current blog post.

The next lecture in our citizen science lecture series has been announced. In the current blog post you can find all the information about this lecture, which will take place on 21 April.

Johannes Kepler University Linz, founded in 1966, is with its four faculties and three schools a broad-based university with an overall focus on technology. The understanding of technology is inter- and transdisciplinary and forward-looking. It is based on a strong foundation in the fields of technology, science, economics, law and medicine that is unique in its interplay. The JKU sees itself as a regionally rooted and at the same time internationally oriented university. For its students, the JKU has often taken on a pioneering role in the past – for example, with Austria’s very first degree programmes in computer science and mechatronics – and today’s nearly 23,000 students are offered a wide range of studies at the highest level on a beautiful campus.

In addition to the excellent basic research, which has been widely acknowledged, the transfer of knowledge into business and society has been a major concern for the JKU from the outset. For example, the Institute Integriert Studieren has been carrying out citizen science projects together with non-professionals for many years, in which developments in the field of Assistive Technologies are promoted. Activities in the field of Citizen Science are constantly being expanded.

For the Johannes Kepler University Linz:
Vice- Rector for Innovation und Researchers, Dipl.-Ing. Christopher Lindinger, MAS
