A black and white cartoon with 5 panels around a central hub whose text reads ECSA working group on armed conflicts. The panels denote the group activities: research, funding, technical assistance, convening and developing principles and methods.
A classroom with around 30 people sitting at white desks, at the front a woman is peaking and two other women are sitting on chairs.
The first in person event for the @ecsa.ngo Working Group on #CitSci in areas affected by conflicts was great. Huge thanks to the speakers with perspectives from #Ukraine, #Sudan, #Iraq, #DRC and #Gaza. Fantastic questions in the room to set us up for our WG meeting later. #ECSA26
