During the International Open Access Week (October 21-27), the Library of the University of Latvia organized a webinar on citizen science. The webinar covered topics such as the motivation to engage in citizen science projects and activities and the role of citizen science in fulfilling the university’s third mission.
Participants were introduced to a new section of the National Open Access Desk website, which now includes information on the results of the LibOCS project and useful Latvian templates for citizen science project implementers. Templates cover the different matters to be considered during citizen science projects. The template collection was developed through the LibOCS project in collaboration with Immer Besser GmbH and SKS Knowledge Services GmbH.
