Stakeholders in the ecological transition (non-profit and private sectors)
🌊"Waves of Change" Hackathon Program
Modules for Ecological Transition Stakeholders (Associative and Private Sectors)
Réunion Island, 2–6 November 2026
As part of the exceptional edition of the Participatory Science Hackathon for the SDGs on RĂ©union Island, several stand-alone modules are available for ecological transition professionals->https://www.training-for-development.com/En-Novembre-Hackathon-Vagues-de-changement-a-la-Reunion].
Environmental transition stakeholders, however diverse they may be, all face the same challenges: difficulties in engaging people around the ecological transition; existing data that is fragmented, incomplete, or disconnected from local realities; and decisions that often lack territorial grounding and scientific legitimacy...
To overcome these challenges, participatory science provides a powerful solution.
The "Waves of Change" Participatory Science Hackathon offers dedicated modules specifically designed to help ecological transition stakeholders address these issues.
As an ecological transition stakeholder, join these modules and leave with:
(Free participation upon mandatory registration)
- Practical methods to structure and improve the reliability of local environmental data collection
- Effective techniques for engaging communities over the long term in biodiversity monitoring and field observation programs
- Strategies for grounding your environmental transition projects in a recognized and collaborative scientific approach
- Case studies and firsthand experiences from organizations that have successfully integrated participatory science into their initiatives
- A deeper understanding of current trends and best practices in citizen science applied to environmental challenges
- Opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with other environmental transition stakeholders, NGOs, and local authorities
- A firsthand look at the projects developed during the Hackathon during the final showcase, providing inspiration and practical models for your own initiatives
