Get Noticed by the Most Influential People (Opinion Leaders) by Inviting Them to the UN for the Geneva Forum
You are at the forefront of education and citizen science because you focus on fieldwork. However, this dedication means you have limited visibility within networks (social events, conferences...). While this is commendable, until you are seen by those initiating major funding and projects, they will not be able to draw inspiration from your work when defining major directives. A cost-effective and highly impactful way to be noticed by these high-level decision-makers is to invite them to the UN. Aim high and identify targets, resolve any obstacles, and send invitations by the end of the morning.

Descriptions! The Key to Doubling or Tripling Traffic to Your Projects
Aim for budget balance on under-booked stays. Aim to triple the attendance on well-booked operations, which could then be split into two or three parallel sessions. Optimize your existing projects through strong collaboration among OSI’s three job circles, in collaboration with Operations Management. Over these 1.5 days, focus on modifying provided content for two main cases:

• Projects with great success but without offering participatory research Participatory Research see : http://www.voyages-scientifiques.com : if scientific research is added but descriptions are shortened, attendance may decrease, leading to project cancellation. The goal is to avoid this while introducing genuine research.
• Projects offering serious research but lacking in success: to avoid abandonment, it is essential to add elements that attract the public. You will work on:
  • re-incorporating initial points of interest (location relevance, UNESCO sites, natural popularity, fun, sports, unique activities, etc.)
  • creating different names and content by age (children, teens, adults) and audience type (schools, travel, stays, clubs, training) to prevent visitor drop-off by tailoring descriptions to personal situations and perceptions.

Stand Out Across Europe and Globally with Targeted Job Offers for Your Operations and Attract a Large Audience
There’s no need to lament in May about a shortage of skilled colleagues if targeted job postings weren’t published in the autumn. Increasingly, Masters programs grant university credits to students supervising Participatory Research stays as part of an internship. Thus, the student is active for 3-6 months instead of 4 weeks, and the budget saved on the stay can fund the entire internship. These university departments can also host a large personalized poster, which will help fill adult citizen science trips while opening the door to new academic partnerships for your Participatory Research Program through this initial job offer contact.
