On day three of Open Research Week, our second talk of our citizen science showcase is about biodiversity.

Open research is at at the heart of iSpot and how it has been developed and implemented. iSpot provides a platform that is open and accessible to all; this acknowledges the important role and contribution of citizen scientists to open science and is aligned with the practices, methods and principles of citizen science and the role it plays in society.
