On Tuesday 16 November the CS Track team ran a workshop about a web-based tool called the analytics workbench that can be used to collect information about citizen science projects. This tool was developed by project partner RIAS. 22 participants from 10 different European countries as well as the US and Colombia took part and tried the tool out for themselves during the workshop.
