Driving changes to embed Citizen Science at your institution

Join this TIME4CS online interactive workshop to learn how you can contribute to fostering the adoption of citizen science as research methodology within your organization through the use of institutional roadmaps.  

You will have the chance to: 

  • Discuss challenges and opportunities for citizen science in your institution 

  • Learn about using institutional roadmaps as a tool for change 

  • Co-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.

The context:

Citizen science (CS) as a research methodology is experiencing an increase in 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.
