On Wednesday, September 2, the REINFORCE consortium held its General Assembly, gathering researchers and professionals from seven countries to showcase the progress that has been made over the last few months within the project. The meeting took place online and also saw the participation of a number of PhD researchers who have recently been involved in the project. After the opening remarks made by the Project Coordinator, Stavros Katsanevas, every work package leader or member gave a presentation about the latest updates of the project.

The REINFORCE project has launched its new fully-developed website, offering a user-friendly browsing experience for the project’s target groups, including potential citizens scientists, the scientific and research community, policy makers, social innovators and entrepreneurs, and the broad public beyond the project community.

Jacques Marteau teaches us how a technology developed to study fundamental physics can be applied to the development of frameworks that may have a significant impact on society.

REINFORCE will rely on Zooniverse, known as the world’s largest platform for online citizen science, as the platform on top of which it will build its infrastructure and engage with its community.
