Dear Angus,

 There is no need to register to watch the web-cast. It will be shown 
via a link on the venue website - 
http://www.anatomytheatreandmuseum.kcl.ac.uk/ - you will see a link at 
the top right to 'Video'.

There will also be a live blog at 
http://citizencyberscience.blogspot.com/ and you can follow the 
conference on Twitter @CyberSciCentre (hastag #cybersci).

Hope this helps! Let me know if you would like any more information.

Best wishes,

Anna

*London Citizen Cyberscience Summit *

2-3 September 2010, King's College London

The world's first summit on citizen cyberscience will be held at 
King's College London on 2-3 September.

Citizen cyberscience is a growing trend where ordinary people use 
their computers and the world wide web to contribute in meaningful 
ways to an increasingly wide range of scientific challenges.

Citizen cyberscience activity takes place all over the world and by 
its very nature participants very rarely -- if ever -- meet. This 
event will showcase a cross-section of these projects and will provide 
a platform for scientists and citizens to share their thoughts on the 
impact of citizen cyberscience face-to-face.

The summit will be hosted by King's College London, and is organised 
jointly by the Citizen Cyberscience Centre, based at CERN in Geneva; 
the Centre for e-Research at King's; Queen Mary, University of London; 
Imperial College London; University College London and GridRepublic. 
It is supported by the Shuttleworth Foundation, the Joint Information 
Systems Committee (JISC), e-ScienceTalk and Microsoft Research.

Confirmed speakers include David Anderson, director of the s...@home 
project, Space Sciences Laboratory, University of Berkeley; George 
Dyson, historian and philosopher of science and author of 'Darwin 
Among the Machines'; and Myles Allen, head of ClimatePrediction.net at 
Oxford University.

There are currently more than 100 active citizen cyberscience projects 
- many address topical themes, such as modelling climate change 
(ClimatePrediction.net) or simulating the spread of malaria 
(MalariaControl.net). King's staff will demonstrate how citizen 
cyberscience can be applied to the cultural heritage sector through 
the East London Theatre Archive project (elta-project.org).

The event will be of interest to both amateur and professional 
scientists, to people who care about the impact of science on society, 
and of society on science, and to those working in the digital 
humanities and cultural heritage.

The Citizen Cyberscience Summit will take place on 2-3 September 
2010 in the Anatomy Theatre & Museum at King's College London's Strand 
Campus. To see the full programme and to book tickets, see

webcast.
