Join us online or in Copenhagen on October 24th as we explore the potential role of environmental citizen science in areas affected by armed conflicts.
We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming Conference: Environmental Citizen Science in Conflict Zones for Accountability and Empowerment, to be held on Friday, October 24, 2025, at the Geocenter, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
About the conference
This event will be a multidisciplinary discussion on the role of citizen-generated data and citizen science in environmental monitoring within conflict zones, with a particular focus on Ukraine after and during the Russian full-scale invasion. We will bring together perspectives from academic institutions, civil society organisations, policymakers, and Ukrainian students to explore the legal and social dimensions of participatory research in this context.
Join us for an engaging afternoon of discussion, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. This conference is open to all, free of charge and will be held in person in Copenhagen. However, recognising the dire situation and ongoing travel restrictions affecting Ukraine, we are also offering the possibility for online participation to ensure everyone can join, regardless of location or circumstance.
With the special collaboration of the keynote speakers: Pier Carlo Sandei (Senior Programme Officer at UNEP); Jan Ortgies, Head of Legal at The Register of Damage for Ukraine (Council of Europe); and Dr. Ivan Rusev, Head of research department at National Nature Park Tuzlivski lymany (Ukraine).
We look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen and to your participation in supporting Ukraine’s environmental recovery.
