This event marks the end of the Extreme Citizen Science: Analysis and Visualisation (ECSAnVis) project, funded by the European Research Council 2016-2022. During the event, we will have talks and demonstrations in one of our lecture rooms in the Geography Department from 4-6pm, and enjoy some food and drinks at the “Geographic Citizen Science Design: No one left behind” book launch and reception from 6:30-8:30pm at a nearby location outside.

"Developing geographical analysis and visualisation tools that can be used, successfully, by people with limited literacy, in a culturally appropriate way. At the core of the proposal is the imperative to see technology as part of socially embedded practices and culture and avoid ‘technical fixes’. The development of novel, socially and culturally accessible Geographic Information System (GIS) interface and underlying algorithms, will provide communities with tools to support them to combine their local environmental knowledge with scientific analysis to improve environmental management."

The ExCiteS team of anthropologists, geographers, computer scientists and engineers have worked with a large number of Indigenous and local communities across the world in developing our ground-breaking Sapelli system to address local challenges.
