Share your insights, research, experience or new ideas about practices for participatory sciences with colleagues from around the globe. Submit an idea for an individual presentation at our Virtual 2026 Conference for Advancing Participatory Sciences (CAPS).
This year’s virtual event will take place online across four half days, 26-29 May 2026, and is your opportunity to expand and connect with science professionals, engagement specialists, funders, app designers, community leaders, and others can help you focus on and enhance your work in this field.
The submission process is quick and we welcome submissions from the many approaches to this work-citizen science, community science, volunteer monitoring, crowdsourced science, and more.

What to expect from an individual presentation at CAPS Virtual
Each accepted individual presentation has two components: a talk delivered live as part of a Topical Discussion Session, and an online poster on the virtual event page.
- During the conference, presentations will be grouped into discussion sessions by topic or as part of an Organized Session.
- Presenters will give a 5-minute talk as a teaser of their work to spark conversations during the session and to entice attendees to visit their online poster materials on our virtual event and member space.
- Each session will foster dynamic conversations centering on 6-8 presentations.
