The new Prince Claus Chair holder, Professor Sebastian Ureta will give his inaugural lecture on mobilization of citizen technoscience to remedy environmental degradation in the Global South.
Professor Ureta will focus on exploring, analysing and disrupting the barriers facing the mobilization of citizen technoscience for the participative assessment and/or remediation of environmental degradation in the Global South.
He aims to open the public discussion about a critical aspect of citizen science; namely, the massive difficulties that projects focused on developing low-cost environmental assessment technologies face in moving beyond successful prototypes.
