The London Citizen Cyberscience Summit is a two-day event being held at King’s College, London on September 2-3, 2010. From the event webpage:

“The London Citizen Cyberscience Summit is a great chance for scientists and citizens to learn about the latest breakthroughs in citizen cyberscience. It will be a unique opportunity to brainstorm about how new technologies can enhance citizen cyberscience. A bold ambition of the summit is to draft a citizen cyberscience manifesto, involving all the stakeholders in the field.” http://www.citizencyberscience.net/summit/

The programme offers a series of presentations collected into four themed sessions, as well as two panel discussions:

• Citizen Cyberscience, Past Tense
  Historical examples of citizen science, distributed computing and distributed thinking.
• Citizen Cyberscience, Present Tense
  A survey of some of the latest results from citizen cyberscience projects
• Citizen Cyberscience, Future Tense
  New projects in the pipeline, from all around the world: short pitches by young researchers
• Citizen Cyberscience, Conditional Tense
  The potential impact of new technologies and social networks on citizen cyberscience
• Panel Session: The Anatomy of Citizen Cyberscience
  A panel of citizen cyberscientists describe why they volunteer their time for science projects, what they’ve learned from it, and how social networking helps science.
• Panel Session: A Manifesto for Citizen Cyberscience
  A discussion about the future of the field
  A selection of scientists and citizens from around the world discuss and debate where they think citizen cyberscience should go, and how it might get there.

Among the speakers and projects presenting at the Summit are David Anderson (SETI@home project – Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), George Dyson (author of ‘Darwin Among the Machines: The Evolution of Global Intelligence), Myles Allen (ClimatePrediction.net – produce and test climate predictions and models), Tom Humphrey (Herbaria@home – digitising and documenting the archives of the UK’s herbaria), Nicolas Maire (MalariaControl.net – simulation modelling of malaria), and many more. See the programme for details.

The event is open to all. To register, use the online registration form. The very modest registration fee covers entrance to the Summit plus refreshment breaks and lunch on both days.
