Short Abstract

Following a workshop implemented for DANUBE4all at the CS4Water Conference on "Co-creating tools for collective action", ZSI can provide insights into mapped barriers towards implementing CS4Water for different stakeholder groups, and their prioritization by a diverse group of participants.

Abstract

As part of the first CS4Water Conference (June 2025 in Delft), ZSI together with Pulsaqua implemented a workshop for the HEU-funded mission project DANUBE4all. For this workshop, we invited participants to reflect on the barriers encountered when doing citizen science in relation to aquatic ecosystems. Beyond showcasing the DANUBE4all project and the toolbox in development within the project, the workshop aimed to exchange experiences and leverage the wisdom of the crowd in order to collaboratively gain a better understanding of barriers for CS4Water. These barriers were also prioritized to allow for follow-up activities to work on solutions. ZSI can introduce these barriers and solutions in a structured way and support the workshop planning, implementation and on-site facilitation, or provide any other kind of support for this workshop.
