20190207_WG6WorkshopReport_Barcelona.PNG
Objectives
Citizen Science practices have been boosted in urban contexts around the world. Participatory effort includes shared tasks such as the identification of concerns, the definition and design of the research, the collection of data, its interpretation and the proposal of actions that respond to the concerns with evidences. Can citizen science contribute to city policies or propose new policies? In which way? And with which actors, specifically? And lastly but not least, can some civic movements be accompanied by citizen science projects to give arguments and propitiate a response through knowledge built in a participatory manner? The workshop, organised within the frame of the Barcelona Science Biennale combined with a number of parallel citizen science activities, was aimed at exploring the links between citizen science and local governance through local and international perspectives and experiences.
Achievements
The participants to the workshop set the basis for the collective writing of a paper on the link between citizen science and local governance through a review of experiences and projects at the local and international level.
