Supporting sustainable Institutional Changes to promote Citizen Science in Science and Technology
Citizen science, understood as the participation of citizens in scientific research to increase scientific knowledge, has experienced growth and increased popularity in recent years, enabling the democratisation of science. The EU-funded TIME4CS project aims at supporting and facilitating sustainable institutional changes in research organisations to promote public engagement (citizens and citizens associations) and citizen science in science and technology. Focusing on four intervention areas and key features of institutional change, the project will create a knowledge transfer and mutual learning programme which will lead to the development of tailored roadmaps. To this aim, the TIME4CS will tackle 4 Intervention Areas that when targeted alone or in combination can enable the Institutional Changes necessary to promote Public Engagement in R&I activities, to be consulted as follows:
1. Research,
2. Education and Awareness,
3. Support resources and Infrastructure and
4. Policy and Assessment.
