Citizen Science: Unlocking the Potential of Public-Powered Research
Nov 26, 2026, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM GMT

📍 1 Triton Square, London, NW1 3BF

Citizen science is transforming the way we collect data, bringing the public directly into the research process. From monitoring biodiversity and tracking air quality to understanding climate change and public health, community-led data collection offers the potential to expand the scale, reach and diversity of scientific research. As technology creates new opportunities for public participation, citizen science could play an increasingly important role in shaping how we understand and respond to complex real-world challenges.

At this Venture Café, we’ll bring together researchers, innovators and community leaders to explore both the opportunities and challenges of citizen science. How can we ensure data is accurate, representative and ethically collected? How do we sustain public engagement and ensure communities benefit from the insights they help generate? Join us to discuss how we can build more collaborative, inclusive and trustworthy approaches to data collection that accelerate scientific discovery and drive meaningful change.
