Student Roundtable: Shaping Digital Action

UCL Extreme Citizen Science

Join students across the UK, France, Malta and Cyprus for ‘Shaping Digital Action’: mapping skills, identifying gaps and digital solutions

University College London

Are you interested in running a citizen science project, a makeathon or a hackathon? Are you interested in working with members of the public or community groups for your research? Do you want to know more about what methods you can use to do this or hope to design successful citizen science and similar activities? Or do you simply have some time and want to meet some like-minded students across UCL? If so, come and join us! <a href="https://heidiproject.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">HEIDI</a>, a research project at UCL, invites you to participate in a roundtable discussion with students from across departments at UCL and from (include the other partners here) about digital skills. The roundtable will provide space to explore your ideas about digital skills, how these have impacted your student experience, any you think are essential for students, and how digital action can offer opportunities to develop digital skills. Included in the hour-long event will be the following presentations and discussion points: <ul><li>What is Digital Action? How much have you been involved in Digital Action?</li><li>How can I use Digital Action to support citizen science research?</li><li>How HEIDI understands Digital Action</li><li>What Digital Skills are important for Digital Action (for staff, students, community members)?</li><li>The connections between digital skills and roles </li></ul>W﻿ho is this event for?I﻿f you are an undergraduate or postgraduate student at (or have recently graduated from) a university, you will be welcome to attend. You do not have to be in the UK - you can be anywhere in the world. You also do not need to have participated in Digital Action yet - you may simply be interested in the idea!This event will be run both in-person and online, so all participants will be sent a Zoom link.We have booked a room at UCL for those who would like to attend the event on campus. We will e-mail you with the room location if you choose the "In person on UCL campus" ticket. If you choose the "Zoom" ticket, we will e-mail you with a Zoom link a few hours before the event. Following the event we will have a 30 minute period where you can get to know other attendees. W﻿hat is the HEIDI project?The Erasmus+ project, HEIDI (“Digital Action at HEIs as a catalyst for social change in the Covid-19 crisis”), aims to provide training (for staff, decision makers, students, librarians, and communities) enabling Higher Education Institutions to better embrace and support bottom-up digital action (i.e. hackathons, makeathons and citizen science initiatives). Until 2023 we will be running 90 events (in the UK, France, Malta, Cyprus and Greece) and aim to engage more than 3,000 people.L﻿ast year we held a series of roundtables with HEI staff and students, which you can read about in the UCL ExCiteS blog <a href="https://uclexcites.blog/2021/12/20/mapping-the-barriers-and-drivers-of-digital-action-within-higher-education-institutions-project-heidi/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> and the HEIDI Project page <a href="https://heidiproject.eu/io1-study-on-drivers-and-barriers-of-he-engagement-in-da-as-catalyst-for-social-change-for-he-staff-and-citizens/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.T﻿he HEIDI Project holds regular webinars and workshops, and you can find some of our past talks on our YouTube channel. We are also planning to hold several roundtables and workshops for specific stakeholder groups this autumn, and we will release the details of these shortly.HEIDI is supported by the ERASMUS+ programme of the European Union under Grant Agreement no. 2020-1-UK01-KA226-HE-094667.
