An inaugural General Assembly was held on October 3, 2022 to welcome this event. As part of an opening address on the CSGP vision, my partner co-founder and co-chair, Mendel shared, “CitizenScience.Asia look[s] forward to 1) an open and inclusive strategy that embraces the diversity in Asia; 2) sharing of knowledge and resources that enable sustainable growth in citizen science activities; 3) a credible reference for legitimacy and trust in citizen science.”
