ECSA CONFERENCE 2026 | OULU

ECSA 2026 Conference Oulu | 3-6 March Let's celebrate citizen science together at the 6th European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) conference in Northern Finland. The theme of the 2026 conference was Citizen Science bridging Centre and Periphery. This theme highlighted the diversity across regions, from urban metropolitan hubs to remote northern and southern spaces. It explored citizen science’s vital connections to sustainability, culture, history, political and legal systems, resources, public health and more. Conference photos: Petra Takamäki with contributions from Joana Magalhães da Silva.

Citizen Science

Belatedly, but finally: here comes our blog post about the #ECSA2026 Conference in Oulu, Finland! In it, we share a perspective slightly different from that of researchers. We attended as designers, as technical partners in the field of Citizen Science Apps, and most importantly: as Citizen Scientists.
