📋 Tender Overview
Integration Of Citizen Science Best Practices To Upscale And Maximise Projects Impact Related To Green Deal And Eu Missions
Objective
The main objective of the proj is to generate a EU wide network of connected citizen science projects. A combined support program of direct funding and support services will be delivered to a group of high potential citizen science initiatives. A strong set of communication, dissemination and knowledge transfer will be implemented to engage all actors in the quadruple helix around the citizen science networks.
The project will consist of 5 work packages to be implemented for 36 months. WP1 (lead: UAM) is devoted to coordinating the project in an efficient and transparent manner for the whole consortium. WP2 (lead: SUR with significant participation of UAM) will do a benchmarking on citizen projects to identify the barriers, needs and challenges of the new ERA and EU missions to implement best practices on citizen science. WP3 (lead: UT with significant participation from ULB and AMU) will focus on selecting and supporting the best citizen science initiatives to be upscaled to other EU regions from Europe. WP4 (lead: ULB, with significant AMU’s participation) will be devoted to analyze the impact of the project and the transfer of the results to policy makers and regulators. WP5 (lead: NKUA) will focus on communication, dissemination, sustainability and exploitation.
The expected results of the project are: 1) Tool kits, training materials and methodologies about best practices on citizen science available to all stakeholders; 2) Network of connected citizen science initiatives sharing activities, data and synergies; 3) Approach from CS sub-projects to all actors of the quadruple helix to citizen science initiatives; 4) Interest by funding bodies in the CS sub-projects supported; 5) Materials developed (policy briefs or similar) for the review of policies impacted.
The team is formed by the CIVIS university alliance and MFN that brings to the project its expertise and networks generated thanks to its predominant role in EU-Citizen.science projects.
