SUMMARY:TIME4CS webinar: Ethical and legal aspects of Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:This webinar by sister project TIME4CS will provide participants with a specific Citizen Science case study\, which implies different levels of ethical and legal challenges\, including GDPR compliance and various ethics dimension (i.e. research integrity\, gender perspective\, open access\, public engagement\, etc.). The moderators will take care of presenting the case study as a whole\, highlighting the most sensitive aspects of its implementation to focus the participants’ attention on the needed interventions. \nETHNA System will present its flexible ethical governance system\, illustrating its optimal composition for the chosen case: which “columns” should be considered (code of ethics and good practices\, ethics committee on R&I\, ethics line) and which building brick to be implemented (research integrity\, gender perspective\, public engagement\, open access)\, according to the issues raised by the case study as well as the institutional commitment and capabilities of the hosting organisation in these terms. \nThis presentation will serve a dual purpose: on the one hand\, it will give participants an understanding of the necessary framework within which embedding particular CS projects/activities (as the chosen case study)\, on the other hand\, it will outline a customised “lookalike” institutional intervention to address the ethical and legal challenges arising from the case study. \nTakeaway for participants: \n\nProvide ethical/legal protocols tailored to the institution/national requirements\nDevelop protocols on the implementation of CS activities\nDevelop plans for ethical and legal approval of CS projects\n\nThis event will take place via Zoom. \nShould you have any questions about the event\, please contact the organisers at time4cs@apre.it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo download the agenda .

SUMMARY:AUTH CSH - Measuring the quality of the air we breathe
DESCRIPTION:The Citizen Science Hub (CSh) of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) in collaboration with the Environmental Informatics Research Group of AUTH co-organizes with the Experimental School of AUTH (ES) the event on: “Citizen science in classrooms: measuring the quality of the air we breathe”. \nThe event will take place at the KEDEA building on Friday 28 April from 12:00-14:00. The purpose of the event is to present the citizen science project activities at the ES\, its first results\, and to initiate the participatory analysis of the collected data towards drawing first conclusions. \nThe ES community is participating in recording human activities within classrooms\, alongside the recording of air pollution levels\, the latter being done with the aid of devices that directly visualize particulate matter and carbon dioxide levels. The project aims to shed light on the relationship between human presence and activity on the one hand and air quality on the other and to co-create best practices that may lead to the reduction of air pollution levels to which pupils are exposed. \nView full programme:

SUMMARY:Driving changes to embed Citizen Science at your institution
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nJoin this TIME4CS online interactive workshop to learn how you can contribute to fostering the adoption of citizen science as a research methodology within your organization through the use of institutional roadmaps. \nYou will have the chance to: \n\nDiscuss challenges and opportunities for citizen science in your institution\nLearn about using institutional roadmaps as a tool for change\nCo-create your own Grounding Action with the TIME4CS Reflection Tool! Hands-on session using our tool\, designed to support the development of personalized action plans: reflect on the big vision for your organization\, identify relevant stakeholders\, define success criteria and necessary resources\, and make your action plan.\n\nRegistrations here \nAgenda of the workshop\n10:00 – 10:05 – Welcome and objectives of the workshop (APRE) \n10:05 – 10:15 – Introduction to TIME4CS project \n10:15 – 11:00- Building roadmaps for sustainable institutional changes (Dr. Eugenia Vilarchao\, ESF) + Q&A \n11:00 – 11:45 – Breakout sessions working groups: participants will discuss and follow key steps to co-create a Grounding Action \n11:45 – 11:55 – Wrap- up session| Lessons learned \n11:55 – 12:00 – Concluding remarks \nTakeaway for participants: \n\nIdentify institutional resources and support needed for CS\nSome concrete examples and suggestions on how to stimulate institutional changes to promote CS\n\nThe context:\nCitizen science (CS) as a research methodology is experiencing an increase in the number of actors\, projects\, initiatives\, and funding opportunities. Despite such growth\, most of the Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) in Europe still do not support CS implementation by fostering institutional transformations. The H2020 EU-funded TIME4CS project explores the Institutional Changes needed to support and embed CS in RPOs\, building on the concept of individual institutional roadmaps describing concrete actions to be carried out by research institutions within 4 Intervention Areas: Research\, Education & Awareness\, Support Resources & Infrastructure\, and Policy & Assessment.

SUMMARY:Citizen Science Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Societal impact is increasingly central to scientific research. How does new knowledge contribute to solving major issues in society? And how can we gain knowledge that is actually beneficial for society? Scientists are motivated to put their knowledge into practice\, which requires a deeper understanding of that same society. Cooperation is essential. \nCitizen science strives for a deepened cooperation between scientists and stakeholders from society\, in order to achieve that better understanding of societal challenges and the development of solutions that may be implemented in a sustainable way. \nOn Thursday 12 May 2022\, the University of Twente is organising a symposium on citizen science. The morning session is for UT staff and students only\, to exchange experiences\, lessons learned\, knowledge\, and expertise from UT citizen science initiatives. The afternoon session is open for everyone. Keynotes and discussions will be held on a variety of themes related to citizen science. \nCall for abstracts\n\n\nEmployees and students of the University of Twente may contribute to the morning session. \n\n\nThis event will be held in English and is powered by INCENTIVE.

SUMMARY:Engaging Citizen Science Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Engaging Citizen Science Conference 2022 is an interdisciplinary event that promotes knowledge sharing among the citizen science community. Citizen science researchers\, practitioners\, and citizens are invited to share their research\, ideas\, and innovation in through workshops\, dialogue roundtables\, posters\, and demos from diverse research areas\, including natural and technical sciences\, life and health sciences\, and social sciences and humanities. \nCitizen science as an interdisciplinary field holds promises for boosting scientific research\, increasing public participation in scientific research\, and empowering citizens in their everyday life. Citizen science covers many different initiatives and activities from crowdsourcing activities where citizens collect and analyze large amounts of data to deliberative processes where citizens are active in science-related policy-making. With roots in amateur science and participatory democracy\, citizen science currently develops rapidly to include many different innovative approaches\, including digital approaches\, to promote and sustain participation and empowerment. This conference invites all citizen science stakeholders to come together to showcase how engaging citizen science can be. \nThe deadline for registering is on the 8th April 2022. \nMore information here. \n

SUMMARY:Creating spaces for reactive Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:The Science\, Technology and Policy Studies section of the University of Twente is welcoming everyone to the online event\, with Anna Berti Suman giving a presentation followed by questions and discussion. \nFor more information please contact e.schiweck@utwente.nl \nWhat is the event about\nThe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action-funded Sensing for Justice (SensJus) project researches the potential of grassroots-driven environmental (health) monitoring\, i.e. reactive Citizen Science\, as a source of evidence in environmental justice litigation\, and as a tool for conflict mediation in extra-judicial setting. There are currently “grey zones” of Citizen Science where its recognition and valorisation is more difficult than for established\, larger-scale\, EU-funded citizen science initiatives. These concern very local\, spontaneous\, small-scale\, and low-budget initiatives that are not supported by a public agency nor linked with an academic institution\, and that deploy in contexts dominated by high social distrust and conflict. \nWhat Ms. Suman will discuss\nThrough fieldwork\, Ms. Suman has explored specific instances of this type of citizen science\, for example in Basilicata where lay people are monitoring the impact of oil pollution on their land\, exposing themselves to legal risks and to risks for their own health. During her presentation\, she will illustrate preliminary findings stemming from SensJus and stimulate a collective reflection along the following lines: \n\nThe need to establish spaces where experts and peers can advise less structured and more spontaneous citizen science initiatives also in complying with applicable laws and boosting the judicial potential of citizen science.\nThe recognition at the legal (or at least political) level of more ‘reactive’ forms of citizen science\, as suggested by the literature.\nThe reflection on new forms of communication that bring a wider audience closer to citizen science & the law\, i.e.\, through drawings and story-telling (see relevant sources here and here).\n\nAbout the speaker\nAnna Berti Suman is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and former Dutch Research Council  Fellow at the European Commission Joint Research Centre. Through the project “SensJus”\, Anna is performing research on the potential of civic monitoring as a source of evidence for environmental litigation and as a tool to foster environmental mediation. \nAfter completing the legal practice and passing the qualifying examination\, Anna is Qualified Barrister in environmental and climate law under the Bar Association of Rome\, following cases at the Law Firm Dini-Saltalamacchia and at Systasis – Study Centre for the Management of Environmental Conflicts\, Milan. \nAnna’s page on the JRC Science Hub can be visited at: https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/anna-berti-suman_en

SUMMARY:"Analyzing Citizen Science Projects using Web-based Tools"
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\nThe CS Track project is running an online workshop on Analyzing Citizen Science Projects using Web-based Tools. The workshop is about exploring a web-based tool (analytics workbench) that can be used to collect information about Citizen Science projects. It is based on the current work of the CS Track project. The analytics workbench can be used by the participants of the workshop to explore the landscape of online citizen science projects and to analyze projects with methods of text mining/analytics and social network analysis. \nDate of workshop: 15th of March\, 2022 \nMore information here. \nRegistration here. \nThe workshop is addressed primarily to researchers – especially in fields of analytics\, Citizen Science and Open Science – institutions\, and project officers. However\, everyone interested in the field can participate in the event. Participants will have the opportunity to discover and explore the potential of text analytics and social network analytics\, with the aim to have a better understanding of Citizen Science projects. They will also acquire know-how about tools that can be used to facilitate the proposed methods and analytical approaches. \nPlease note that places on this workshop are limited\, so register as early as possible! \nAbout the CS Track project\nCS Track is an H2020 project that aims to broaden our knowledge about Citizen Science and the impact Citizen Science activities can have. CS Track achieves this by investigating a large and diverse set of Citizen Science activities\, disseminating good practices\, and formulating knowledge-based policy recommendations in order to maximise the potential benefit of Citizen Science activities on individual citizens\, organisations\, and society at large. \nThe project observes and carries out analyses on a large number of different citizen science activities in order to increase knowledge about what makes such activities successful in response to a given set of research questions. It also provides web-based and other tools and frameworks for analysing citizen science activities in a wide variety of settings that can be used by the stakeholder community. \nFor more information… \nSubscribe to the monthly CS Track newsletter \nCheck out the project’s YouTube channel \nFollow the project on Twitter and LinkedIn

SUMMARY:Third consortium meeting
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, 9th of February\, 2022\, the INCENTIVE consortium met for the project’s third consortium meeting\, resuming after the Christmas break. As in the previous meetings\, due to the ongoing pandemic the meeting was held virtually once again and hosted by the University of Twente (Design Lab)\, the coordinator of the project. The meeting signaled 1 full year of implementation – the project had kicked off in February 2021 – and the start of a series of core pilot activities for the establishment and operationalisation of Citizen Science Hubs. \nHowever\, the event included also a strongly conceptual aspect. During the meeting\, two honorary guests were invited to deliver an inspirational speech. On the one hand\, prof. Barend van der Meulen from the University of Twente gave a lecture on the challenges of embedding Citizen Science in RPFOs\, as well as on realistic measures to be applied to overcome those barriers. On the other hand\, Teresa Schäfer\, from the Center for Social Innovation\, presented her experience on Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks about Citizen Science projects\, so as to guide INCENTIVE partners in effectively measuring the success of the project. \nMoreover\, partners participated in a dedicated interactive working session organised by UT. During the session\, partners reflected on the purpose and process of creating the Citizen Science Hubs in each university\, by drawing inspirational sketches in the Mural. Many members of the Advisory Board attended the session\, sharing their experiences with the younger members and commenting on the results. This helped the consortium shape a common understanding about the next period\, which foresees the actual operation of the Hubs. \nAnother highlight was the introduction of the new Project Officer of INCENTIVE\, miss. Katharina Buse. In her speech\, the PO reiterated the criticality of engaging citizens and stakeholders in research projects funded by the EU\, and the importance of achieving that goal through Citizen Science. She also affirmed the commitment of the Research Executive Agency in helping the INCENTIVE team disseminate the project’s results\, and also provided answers to questions posed by partners. \nDuring the meeting\, all WP and Task leaders presented in detail the work that they performed since July 2021\, the challenges\, and the results. Special emphasis was placed on WP2 and WP3\, which focus on the consolidation of Citizen Sciences Hubs within the universities and their practical activation through local engagement. UT and UAB\, which lead WP2 and 3 respectively\, informed the other partners about the achievements so far and what is expected to be accomplished until summer. Partners’ commitment was ensured once again\, as the Hubs’ proper function necessitates collective effort. \nOf particular importance was the section devoted to the evaluation and assessment of the project’s progress. To that end\, Q-Plan introduced an integrated framework that includes various Key Performance Indicators that will help partners measure quantitatively how successful the activities of INCENTIVE will be. SDA Bocconi\, as leader of the sustainability WP\, together with Q-Plan\, outlined the measures taken to guarantee the due exploitation of the project’s results. Afterward\, the main dissemination and networking efforts and results (WR and ECSA)\, were presented to the consortium partners. Attention was paid to the local engagement and synergising actions that the pilot RPFOs perform\, and the need to capture and build on these activities. \nThe meeting ended with the partners planning the next consortium meeting\, which is expected to be held physically in Thessaloniki. \nStay tuned\, because an exciting third semester is coming\, with plenty of pilot activities! \nMake sure to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on our SMAs to receive the latest updates from our project’s next steps!

SUMMARY:TIME4CS - 1st Citizen Science Helix Event
DESCRIPTION:The TIME4CS consortium invites everyone to the 1st Citizen Science Helix Event on “The Role of Citizens in EU Missions Implementation”  \nAbout the event\nThe event will take place virtually on Tuesday\, the 8th of February\, and is organised as part of the Citizen Science Helix – an international Open Innovation community of specialists in the fields of citizen and open science\, created to support the TIME4CS project. It addresses anyone interested in the field of Citizen Science and in participating in a project targeting one of the forthcoming Mission Calls. The event includes dedicated pitch sessions (e.g.\, short presentations from participants searching for partners) for the upcoming Mission Calls. The event will also explore issues about the institutionalisation of Citizen Science (which is also a priority for INCENTIVE under the Citizen Science Hubs). \nAgenda and registration here \nSpeakers include: \n\nNeville Reeve – Head of Mission sector\, European Commission\, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation\, Policy & Programming Centre\, Missions & Partnerships\nGabriella Leo – Seconded National Expert – Open Science policy – Science and Society\, European Commission\, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation\, ERA & Innovation\, Open Science\nMuki Haklay – Professor of GIScience\, University College London\n\nAbout EU Missions\nEU Missions are a novelty of the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. They are a new way to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges. With ambitious goals\, they will deliver impact by putting research and innovation into a new role\, combined with new forms of governance and collaboration\, as well as by engaging citizens. \nMissions will engage with citizens to boost societal uptake of new solutions and approaches. But what exactly will the role of citizens in the EU Missions implementation be? And how can we best integrate Citizen Science not only in the 5 areas of the Missions but also in our organisations? All these questions will be brought up and discussed at the event. \nAbout TIME4CS\nTIME4CS is an EU funded H2020 project aimed at supporting and facilitating the implementation of sustainable Institutional Changes in Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) to promote Citizen Science and public engagement in science and technology. \nLearn more about the projects and its aims here \nThe project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101006201
