Have you seen an alien?

More than one week

The European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) Citizen Science activities aim at bringing together people, scientists and policy makers in an effort to monitor and control invasive alien species (IAS) that cause damage to native species, ecosystems and human’s health.

IAS are non-native biological organisms (plants or animals) that are widely spread, including in urban environment. Timely reporting helps to prevent their further spread; thus, people’s contribution is really important.

This course aims at raising awareness, increasing knowledge and involving the public in monitoring IAS in Europe, promoting people’s engagement in IAS management, and supporting the implementation of the EU Regulation 1143/2014 on IAS, which prioritizes the alien species to be controlled at EU level through the implementation of a set of measures.

The online course will also target teachers who seek expert knowledge on biodiversity and want to give their students the opportunity to experience citizen science activities. The access to this course is free, open and accessible to all stakeholders and people interested in the topic.

SHERPA: A tool to support the design of urban and regional air quality plans

One day

Training to use the software tool: SHERPA Java/Python software tool (Screening for High Emission Reduction Potential on Air). SHERPA allows for rapid exploration of potential air quality improvements resulting from national/regional/local emission reduction measures. The tool has been developed with the aim of supporting national, regional, and local authorities in the design and assessment of their air quality plans. It has been developed by JRC-Ispra.

European Citizen Engagement and Deliberative Democracy Festival

One day

Deliberative democracy and citizen engagement can be effective responses to the erosion of trust in democratic institutions, as well as helping to develop better policies by including all those concerned in more direct ways. A number of recent studies namely the OECD’s report “Catching the Deliberative Wave” and a European Parliament study on ‘practices of democracy’ describes the flourishing of inspiring deliberative democracy initiatives, including many in the EU, where thousands of randomly selected citizens are enrolled into more participatory governance styles in our democratic regimes. This context shows the flourishing interest in these tools and therefore raises expectations of the Commission.
