Participatory and Citizen Science Genomics

Plant and Animal Genome 32 (PAG 32) International Conference

January 10-15, 2025 Town and Country Convention Centre, San Diego,
California

The Participatory and Citizen Science Genomics workshop is confirmed at
the Plant and Animal Genome 32 (PAG 32-2025) International conference.

You are invited to attend this Workshop and submit abstracts for oral
presentations.

Participatory approaches and citizen science are more and more
commonly used to address multiple scientific questions and, at the
same time, exploit the potential of directly involving stakeholders and
citizens. This enhances research dissemination and favors a more effective
innovation pipeline multiplying the societal impact of scientific
research. Indeed, worldwide scientists are increasingly engaged with
open science, open innovation, and open-to-the-world principles. A
main aspect of the success of citizen science is also the opportunity
of taking advantage of cutting-edge digital technologies, to make
science and innovation more collaborative and global. Open Science and
Participatory research represent innovative ways to perform scientific
research and processes based on cooperative work and new approaches
to disseminate and share knowledge using digital technologies and new
collaborative tools. Participatory and Citizen Science Initiatives in
the Research Area are incredibly increasing in the last five years and
many projects in plant and animal sciences are nowadays exploiting the
potential of exploring participatory and citizen science, particularly
in biodiversity conservation and crop improvement. This workshop will
give the opportunity to keynote scientists and projects to illustrate the
Participatory and Citizen Science experiments they are putting in place
and highlight the genomics contributions in agriculture, for plants and
animal conservation, and for agroecological sustainability.

The Workshop will take place on Tuesday January 14, with a provision
for 6 invited speakers. Invited presentations will be selected from the
submitted abstracts. Please send your abstract and details using the form
at the link https://forms.gle/jHXs9Wb1PgCo2pU29, no later than November
6, 2024.

Please make sure to include affiliations of all authors and email address
of the corresponding author/speaker.

You will be notified by November 18, 2024 whether your abstract has been
selected for an oral presentation.

Thereafter, the selected presenters will need to submit their abstract
to the PAG website. Authors whose abstracts are not selected for oral
presentations are highly encouraged to present a poster at the conference.
