SUMMARY:The 2025 Research and Innovation Marathon Relay
DESCRIPTION:Accelerating toward water security: how can we use citizen science and innovative low-cost sensor technologies? \nA world-wide marathon relay of ideas and recommendations to empower community-based water research. \nThis event will take place over a 24-hour period. The relay will start at the CUNY ASRC at 12 p.m. on June 16\, 2025. Register to attend at https://bit.ly/42SRM2n \nBuilding on the CUNY ASRC 2023 global virtual marathon\, the 2025 marathon will leverage existing networks of students\, educators\, scientists\, and citizen scientists working together to find solutions to water related issues using scientifically useful sensors monitored by community volunteers working with scientists. Framed as a debate\, the event addresses two central questions: \n\nHow can we empower and build the capacity of communities to develop science-based solutions to their water problems using GLOBE and other citizen science programs?\nHow can we leapfrog the collection and analysis of data using 3D printing\, DIY low-cost sensors\, existing open data frameworks\, and other technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)?\n\nThe debate will consider the domains of data and information\, capacity development\, governance\, innovations\, and financing. \nSectors such as agriculture\, health and energy have a major impact on the use and quality of water. Universities can join hands in a dialogue with governmental\, civil society especially citizen science organizations\, and business stakeholders to improve this situation. Together this alliance encompasses a large diversity of perspectives and uses knowledge from a broad set of scientific disciplines. \nHow does it work? \nThe event will start on June 16\, 2025 at 12 p.m. in New York at the CUNY ASRC\, while broadcast via Zoom\, and continue online around the world until the final discussion session at 11 a.m. ET June 17\, 2025. \nAll participating institutes will be organized in region and time zone groupings. In these groups a central hub will lead the debate. The central group hub passes the debate on to the next central group hub. All sessions will take place in Zoom and are open to participants from the two time zones. \nAfter nine sessions and 24 hours\, there will be a final synthesis session during the 2025 Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress. \nThe groups and example locations are shown in the table below. \n\n\n\nNYC Day\nSession\nNYC Time (EST)\nLocal Time\n\n\nNYC (Opening)\n\n12:00 – 13:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada/Mexico\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS/Canada – Pacific Rim\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (16 June)\n\n\nNorth America\nUS (Alaska)\n12:00 – 14:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (16 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n14:00 – 15:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nPeru\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n14:00 – 16:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nArgentina\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nParaguay\n15:00 -17:00  EST (16 June)\n16:00 -18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nBolivia\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n15:00 – 17:00 (16 June)\n\n\nSouth America/Caribbean\nEast Brazil\n15:00 – 17:00 EST (16 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (16 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nUS (Hawaii)\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (16 June) \n\n\nPacific Islands\nEast Polynesia\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (16 June) \n\n\nPacific Islands\nKiribati\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (17 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nVanuatu\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (17 June)\n\n\nPacific Islands\nGuam\n17:00 – 19:00 EST (16 June)\n7:00 – 9:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n19:00 – 20:00 EST (16 June)\n\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nSydney\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nPerth\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n8:00 – 10:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nTokyo\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n9:00 – 11:00 (17 June)\n\n\nWest Pacific Rim\nAuckland\n20:00 – 22:00 EST (16 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth East Asia/China\nChina/Manila\n22:00 – 00:00 EST (16-17 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth East Asia/China\nBangkok\n22:00 – 00:00 EST (16-17 June)\n9:00 – 11:00  \n(17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n00:00 – 1:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nKarachi\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nHyderabad\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:30 – 13:30 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nKabul\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n9:30 – 11:30 (17 June)\n\n\nSouth/Central Asia\nTashkent\n1:00 – 3:00 EST (17 June)\n10:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n3:00 – 4:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nTehran\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:30 – 1:30 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nTel Aviv\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nIstanbul\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nMiddle East/Russia\nMoscow\n4:00 – 6:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nAddis Ababa\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n13:00 – 15:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nCape Town\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n12:00 – 14:00 (17 June)\n\n\nAfrica\nLagos\n6:00 – 8:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 13:00 (17 June)\n\n\nBREAK\n\n8:00 – 9:00 EST (17 June)\n\n\n\nEurope\nAthens\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n16:00 – 18:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nParis\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n15:00 – 17:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nLondon\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n14:00 – 16:00 (17 June)\n\n\nEurope\nReykjavik\n9:00 – 11:00 EST (17 June)\n13:00 – 15:00 (17 June)\n\n\nChicago (Closing)\n\n11:00 – 12:00 EST (17 June)\n11:00 – 12:00 (17 June)\n\n\n\n
