Presenters: José Miguel Rubio Iglesias, Kim de Rijck, Jennifer Shirk, Hester VoltenSummary:
This workshop reviews work by environmental management and regulatory agencies, both in US and in Europe, to support citizen science in policy contexts. The session opens with perspectives from several US agencies striving to provide infrastructure for effective projects, illustrated by one regional case study. Attendees will then hear about activities carried out by European EPAs, in particular the Interest Group on Citizen Science and air quality initiatives by RIVM (Netherlands). The workshop will close with the presentation of a European Commission document on citizen science and environmental monitoring, recently published, which targets both public authorities and citizen science communities.
