CS4Water Conference 2025
Join us for the inaugural Citizen Science 4 Water (CS4Water) Conference that will be held 3-5 June 2025 in Delft, the Netherlands. The conference will focus on the crucial role citizen science plays within water resource monitoring, management and governance as well as community-led actions. Together, we will explore how citizen science can help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) around the world and future-proof healthy water bodies for generations to come.
For this inaugural CS4Water conference, we will focus on freshwater systems, diving into engaging workshop sessions, exploring innovative research, and connecting international water and citizen science experts.
The CS4Water conference aims to:
- Promote collaborative research and knowledge sharing, fostering collaboration among an international community of scientists, practitioners, and citizens and communities to advance cooperative freshwater monitoring and management.
- Empower communities and institutions, boosting discourse surrounding decision-making, communication, and governance in the water commons to help restore, design, and ensure resilient freshwater bodies, groundwater, wetlands and deltas for the future of people and planet.
- Advance sustainable solutions to the freshwater crises, co-exploring innovative, sustainable, citizen science-driven strategies for achieving the SDGs, especially in the Global South, and safeguarding water into the future.
