6.1 Identification of and Engagement with Projects of Interests - Report
6.1 Identification of and Engagement with Projects of Interests - Report
The report identifies 78 citizen science (CS), citizen observatory (CO) projects, CO portals and other initiatives of interest (past, current and future) that may either contribute to or make use of the Cos4Cloud platform and services.
8.3 Project video
8.3 Project video
The objective of the deliverable D8.3, produced within the package WP8, is to present a comprehensive promotional video explaining the Cos4Cloud project in two minutes to a general public audience, it is also an invitation to be part of our community and participate in our activities.
D8.3 includes the project video script and the link to the video without subtitles, it also incorporates a small communication plan to promote the video and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure its impact.

The Science of Citizen Sience
Book, open access
Get the open-access book ‘The Science of Citizen Science’, published by Springer Nature.The book covers the whole spectrum of citizen science theory and practice in Europe, and was the result of a collaboration of over 100 authors from 24 countries, including the Cos4Cloud coordinator, Jaume Piera, a researcher at the ICM-CSIC and associated researcher at CREAF, Luigi Ceccaroni, innovation and strategic manager at Earthwatch Europe and part of Cos4Cloud, who was also one of the book’s lead editors. Several other Cos4Cloud team members also contributed: Sasha Woods from Earthwatch Europe, Tim Woods from ECSA, Rosa Arias from Science for Change, and Maria Daskolia from NKUA.
