Outcomes
In March, 2018, Lysin American School in Switzerland (LAS) hosted a 2.5-day workshop on the Synergies between Education and Citizen Science. The workshop was co-organised by the both the ECSA and COST Education & Learning Working Groups, and was funded by COST Action (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
