A paper within the COST Action has recently been published on Science Direct, which discusses how the CS can help addressing Sustainability Transitions (STs).
A blog entry by Dr. Anna Berti Suman about a webinar “Citizen Sensing: towards a right to contribute to environmental information”, with more than 80 participants from all over the world.
The end product of the process - the citizens’ information pack on legal and ethical issues around ICTs - will “identify and enhance good practices that can be applied to citizen science projects in different areas” and support efforts to “explore ways for integrating data and knowledge collated through [citizen science] initiatives and suggest mechanisms for standardization, interoperability and quality control”.
A better understanding on the wiki tools and their benefits: The links between citizen science and the use of these powerful knowledge dissemination tools was made obvious through the identification of the various potential citizen science groups that were marginalised and the ways these could be included within the community.
The Aim of this Workshop from WG4 was to raise awareness of citizen scientists and other stakeholders (e.g. COST Action participants) on how citizen science social innovation transcends into Responsible Research and Innovation.
Following previous events of the same working group over the last couple of years, this workshop aimed to discuss and wrap up the outcomes from the past work, and organise the continuation and deepening of future work on Citizen Science (CS) in support to policy-making. The latter will include the comparison of different approaches with regard to strategies and platforms dedicated to Citizen Science throughout Europe.
As COST is linked to international travelling, we observe the risk from the coronavirus. Currently, no cancellation is required, in case it will happen, "force majeure" will apply.
