Citizen Science Disco

This will be an open social shindig of an evening for connecting communities and sharing awesome science projects. The European Citizen Science Association Conference (http://www.ecsa2016.eu/) is in town for 3 days at the Kulturbrauerei and on the evening of Friday 20th is collaborating with Science Hack Day Berlin to invite the Berlin grassroots science & maker communities to come over, hang out, share a drink and some Flammkuchen, and connect with their community of international citizen science researchers and project leaders. We have a line-up of inspiring lightning talks from the grassroots front-line of citizen science, representing both the local Berlin scene and international projects, followed by the chance to mingle and make new friends. // Practical Details Please register (for free) by 19th May so we know roughly how many people to expect. https://ecsa2016thinkcamp.eventbrite.de There will be Flammkuchen (for free!), a cash bar and music.
