The LibOCS Project involves 6 LIBER member institutions (Tartu University (project leader), University of Latvia, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas University of Technology, TalTech Tallin, and SKS Knowledge Services).
One distinct characteristic of LibOCS is the implementation of the BESPOC prototype as a model for central services for citizen science at the involved universities.

Presenters: representatives from the aforementioned institutions. Generous time for questions, answers and dialogue.
More information:
Expect to hear from a mix of research-intensive and technical universities about what researchers think about a central service for citizen science. What libraries can do in the short term and what is for the medium and long term? What could help you kick-start such services? What skills are needed? What infrastructure is needed? How to form meaningful partnerships? How exchanging project templates could help your researchers? … and many more.
Insights from over 25 implementation workshops will be shared, emphasizing practical strategies, encountered challenges, and the creative solutions developed in response.
This presentation aims to provide valuable learnings for other institutions considering similar Citizen Science initiatives, illustrating the transformative impact of BESPOC in fostering broad-based scientific engagement at the university level.
