SUMMARY:Open Research Forum: Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:\nTo celebrate Citizen Science Month\, join us for our next 
 Open Research Forum: Collaborative Open Research Practices: Building Trust 
 through Citizen Science. \n\nThis forum will showcase how open research 
 practices\, such as citizen science\, can improve scientific transparency. 
 We will explore how open\, collaborative approaches can strengthen public 
 trust in science\, fostering more inclusive and credible research outcomes. 
  \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we will address the growing challenge of 
 misinformation and its implications for science communication. By examining 
 strategies to combat misinformation and uphold rigorous\, open scientific 
 standards\, we aim to identify ways to improve public confidence in 
 research. \n\nThe Forum will feature a keynote lecture by Oscar Diaz\, the 
 European Citizen Science Ambassador for Ireland\, along with presentations 
 from Ruth Hynes (Head of R&I Strategic Development)\, Dr. Liz Coleman 
 (Physics)\, and Éle Quinn (Medicine). \n\nAfter the formal presentations\, 
 Oscar will lead a workshop to grow the Irish Citizen Science Network. This 
 session will continue to develop the Network\, focusing on strategies to 
 strengthen collaboration\, shape policy\, and identify funding 
 opportunities. Participants will be invited to share their insights on the 
 network's progress and define potential roles in its growth and long-term 
 sustainability. Researchers from both ATU and the University of Galway are 
 welcome to participate in the workshop.\n\n\n\n \n\nThe event details are
