Workshop Minutes of the WG 4 Meeting in Kaunas on the topic "Citizen Science & Social Innovations"

First Workshop in Romania, Iasi by WG 4 & WG 6 in March 2019 with the topic "Citizen Science and Gender".

Claudia Göbel proposes a framework of examination for how Citizen Science and other types of participatory research should form a more prominent part of the much needed cultural change in knowledge institutions.
