Senior Research Scholar Dilek Fraisl from the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability Research Group will attend the Expert Group Meeting (EGM) and Workshops on Citizen Data in Bangkok, Thailand.

From 10 – 12 November 2025, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in collaboration with the Collaborative on Citizen Data and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP), will host the Expert Group Meeting (EGM) and Workshops on Citizen Data in Bangkok.
