Citizen Science OpenAIRE activities in Education
Participate in the OpenAIRE Citizen Science Initiative
This webinar starts with a short introduction to OpenAIRE, followed by a description of OpenAIRE Citizen Science Initiatives and activities. More specific, the presentation focuses on the:
School Seismograph Network
- Presentation of the School Seismograph Network
- Implementation of the OpenAIRE approach to enable the school’s seismograph data collections (OpenAIRE PROVIDE, Zenodo), exploration (OpenAIRE EXPLORE) and applications (HELIX, HACKQUAKE). How OpenAIRE products embrace the active participation of schools into the Open Science ecosystem
Open Schools Journal for Open Science (OSJ)
- STEM focused Open Schools Journal for Open Science, supported by OpenAIRE and how it enables students and teachers to learn about the Open Science ecosystem, rules and guidelines (i.e. licensing, metadata). Also, how teachers and students can find in Zenodo the Journal’s articles and datasets by participating in Zenodo communities in order to include them in their daily routines
- Best practices by students’ involvement in the OpenAIRE Citizen Science Initiatives
Bringing Nobel Prize Physics to the Classroom with Zenodo
- Presentation of a series of educational activities aiming to introduce Nobel Prize Physics to the Classroom are being developed and documented in Zenodo.

Q&A session
Highlight: New students discovery in the Open Schools Journal for Open Science: "Since 2009, Kepler Space Telescope has been recording small reductions (eclipses) in the light of distant stars due to the transit of planets in front of them. Our goal is to detect planets in orbit around distant stars from Kepler's mission data, following the Reading Method using two programs written by our team in programme language C. If the readings are detected and confirmed, we proceed to their analysis. characteristics of the planet: Ray, inclination, distance from the star, and especially if it is in the so-called "habitable zone" which will make it possible to maintain life. However, we have already identified such an exoplanet in orbit around the star KIC 1432789, the characteristics of which our team analyzed for the first time." - from
