>The London Citizen Cyberscience Summit in 2010 brought together for the first
>time volunteers and scientists from a wide range of Web-based science
>projects, ranging from volunteer computing (SETI@home,ClimatePrediction.net)
>to volunteer thinking (GalaxyZoo, Herbaria@home) to volunteer sensing
>(EpiCollect, NoiseTube) and much more. Historians, journalists, teachers and
>businessmen all brought their angle on citizen cyberscience to the event.

>The Second London Citizen Cyberscience Summit, 16-18 February 2012, promises
>to be just as pioneering in its scope, and even more innovative in its format
>– ranging from classical academic seminar on the first day, through to
>full-fledged open hardware hackfest
on the last. It will take place at the Royal Geographical society (on the
16th) and at UCL (17th and 18th), in London.

>Go!
>On Day 1, we set the scene. (Thursday 16th February 2012, Royal Geographical
>Society). Meet some of the leading figures in citizen science and explore the
>process of public engagement and participation, outreach of citizen science to
>the developing world, and the undertaking of "extreme" citizen science
>projects, in rain forests, arctic tundra, or urban jungles.
>On Day 2, we look beneath the surface. (Friday 17th February 2012, UCL).
>Experts will discuss the hardware and software that powers citizen
>cyberscience. There will be a panel discussionwith citizen scientists on why
>participation and engagement, and a showcase of new and future citizen science
>projects. In the evening, we'll start planning the next day's hands-on
>sessions.
>On Day 3, we get down to business…together! (Saturday 18th February 2012) This
>will include further unconference sessions, and a hackfest for development of
>hardware and software prototypes, demos and mock-ups, with awards for the most
>innovative creations!
