The Eastern Alps Hydrographic District is pleased to invite you to the 2nd International Conference on Citizen Observatories for natural hazards and Water Management that will take place in the beautiful city of Venice, Italy.
COWM2018 will focus on the potential of Citizen Science in the European (and beyond) innovation landscape, and in particular in the fields of Environmental Monitoring, Natural Risks management, Land use monitoring and management. The Conference will investigate the role and opportunities for active citizen participation in policy making and the new technologies, methods and advanced modelling to support Citizen Observatories.
The Conference will be the stage for all the ongoing citizen science and crowdsourcing initiatives.
COWM2018 will bring together social scientists, surveyors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals from many countries involved in research and development activities in a wide range of technical and management topics related to citizen observatories and their impacts on society. It will be an opportunity to discover how to maximize the benefit of data emerging from citizen observatories.
