Sensing Our Environment Together: Citizen Sciences for Climate and Air Quality (Workshop Report, 2025) Sensing Our Environment Together: Citizen Sciences for Climate and Air Quality (Workshop Report, 2025) ====================================================================================================== - Challenged-based approach - Civic engagement - Communication and Dissemination - Participatory research - Report - Academics - Civil society - Researchers - Students The workshop “Sensing Our Environment Together: Citizen Sciences for Climate and Air Quality” (30 September–1 October 2025) brought together academics, associations, and local stakeholders committed to addressing climate and air‑quality challenges through participatory research. Designed as a prototype for future CIVIS Open Labs, the event fostered dialogue between diverse actors, encouraged the exchange of methodologies, and highlighted the value of inclusive, science-based action. By convening experts and communities across different territories, the workshop aimed to enhance transnational collaboration and strengthen the collective capacity to address environmental issues. The workshop “Sensing Our Environment Together: Citizen Sciences for Climate and Air Quality” (30 September–1 October 2025) brought together academics, associations, and local stakeholders committed to addressing climate and air‑quality challenges through participatory research. Designed as a prototype for future CIVIS Open Labs, the event fostered dialogue between diverse actors, encouraged the exchange of methodologies, and highlighted the value of inclusive, science-based action. By convening experts and communities across different territories, the workshop aimed to enhance transnational collaboration and strengthen the collective capacity to address environmental issues. Ahead of the event, a dedicated consultation process helped identify key expectations and needs from participants, shaping a series of hands‑on thematic sessions. These explored how to engage and sustain citizen participation, translate data into action, select appropriate measurement tools, and integrate citizen science within universities. Participants worked collaboratively to analyse challenges, co‑design solutions, and reflect on how citizen‑generated knowledge can meaningfully contribute to policy, education, and community empowerment. The full workshop report—available as a downloadable PDF in this Resource section—serves as a comprehensive dissemination tool, capturing the session outcomes, methods, and insights developed collectively by participants. It is intended to support both CIVIS partners and external stakeholders, educators, and practitioners seeking to strengthen participatory research, replicate successful approaches, and further advance citizen science initiatives across Europe and beyond. The document illustrates how citizen science operates as both a scientific and social process, grounded in openness, inclusivity, and shared learning. *Authors:* [*Christèle Aubry*](mailto:christele.aubry@unil.ch)*, Université de Lausanne &* [*Robin Lebrun*](mailto:Robin.Lebrun@ulb.be)*, Université libre de Bruxelles* - [ citizen-sciences-for-climate-and-air-quality-2025.pdf (PDF, 13 MB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/citizen-sciences-for-climate-and-air-quality-2025.pdf) Other resources --------------- - ### Member Universities in Europe Logos 1 October 2026 Logos of the 11 member universities in Europe. - Communication and Dissemination - Branding material - Academics - Administrators - Researchers - Students [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/member-universities-in-europe-logos "Member Universities in Europe Logos") - ### Bringing Generations Together: A Community Toolkit for Designing International Programs 30 September 2026 - Challenged-based approach - Civic engagement - Community of Practice - Inclusion & Diversity - Open Labs - Research & Innovation - Toolbox - Academics - Administrators - Civil society - Researchers - Students [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/bringing-generations-together-a-community-toolkit-for-designing-international-programs "Bringing Generations Together: A Community Toolkit for Designing International Programs") ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
