When will these things take place?The final schedule for the weekend will be published shortly before the event, since the lineup is still open for new contributions.
lecture: Ketil Moland Olsen - Look up! Track the air traffic over your head
Tracking air traffic is just for the biggest nerds among us, isn't it? The ones sitting in camping chairs at the end of the runway with expensive SLR cameras and hats with the Boeing logo on them? And who gets a push alert from FlightRadar24 when a jumbo jet comes flying by? In this presentation, the speaker will argue that this belief is a myth. Building your own flight radar and monitoring the air traffic is not only fun, cheap and relatively easy. The information you capture is actually – believe it or not – useful for purposes such as weather monitoring and journalism.

lecture: Thomas Telkamp - LoRa to the moon (and back)
For the first time ever we bounced a LoRa message off the Moon on October 5th 2021, using the Dwingeloo radio telescope. The signal traveled an amazing distance of 730360 km, which to our knowledge is the furthest distance a LoRa modulated message has ever traveled.
For a short moment the entire message was in space, in between the Earth and the Moon. We transmitted the signal with a Semtech LR1110 RF transceiver chip (in the 430-440 Mhz amateur band), amplified to 350 Watt, using the 25 meter dish of the telescope. Then, 2.44 seconds later, it was received by the same chip.

other: Walter Gerritsen - Measuring or using models?
The Citizens Initiative (CI) Van Ring naar Park in Amersfoort aims for a transition of the local city ring road called Stadsring to a green blue park scenery where only limited motorized traffic will be admitted.
In June 2022 CI will participate in the Festival of Insight. During this festival we want to inform people amongst others about health issues and compare health related issues of high volume traffic to those of low volume traffic on the Stadsring. The question is whether measurements will be a successful option or will the use of models including proper input be the only real option.

workshop: Coöperatief Meten Natuurlijk U.A. (Egon Kastelijn) - Extended value from existing biodiversity observations
3 years ago we started measuring air quality in Zeist with a group of interested an active participants.
We found out that a significant part of these participants are also interested in nature and biodiversity.
They are using ObsMapp and ObsIdentify to register observations of species on Waarneming.nl
The data is open data, and the amount of users and observations has increased significantly since COVID-19.
The website of Waarneming.nl gives some nice insights, but we believe that there is more value in the data than just the single observations.
Our citizen-science community wants to explore if we can/may (re)use the existing data of Waarneming.nl.
In this session we ask ourselves the question:
# Citizen Science
* What other open data-sources that would we interesting to mix/combine?
* What kind of insights would be helpful?
# Municipalities
* Are municipalities aware of this large data-source? Are they using it already?
* What type of (combined) data do municipalities need for policy-making?
* Could this help municipalities to extend their 'soortenmanagementplan'?
# Motivation
* Can a project like this me a motivation for people to start with bio-observations?
