2026 Conference for Advancing the Participatory Sciences

Join us for cross-cutting symposia, interactive workshops, engaging talks, and dynamic posters at the annual Conference for Advancing Participatory Sciences (CAPS).

Alternating each year between in-person and virtual, these events  connect people from across many contexts to highlight areas of innovation, share ideas and insights, and forge stronger relationships and practices across this field. Together, we seek and share the traditional and innovative practices that lead to powerful partnerships for discovery, learning, and action.

This event offers time to connect, collaborate, and innovate with colleagues from around the world. Join us as we dismantle boundaries in the participatory sciences.

This conference champions radical collaboration: uniting disciplines, communities, and technologies. We’ll explore innovative approaches that transcend traditional divisions, fostering a truly interconnected and impactful global citizen science movement for a better future.
