Citizen Science workshop: Strategy, community, and partnerships

Beskrivelse

Research libraries can play a key role in opening up science to society by taking up tasks in public engagement in science. At European universities, a number of centres or hubs evolving around Citizen Science have recently opened. The model seems to be based on Broad Engagement with Science (Ayris & Ignat 2020) but surprisingly few libraries seem to be taking part. Although LIBER libraries in general both see the value in Citizen Science and report they have the skills to engage (Kaarsted et al., forthcoming) the possibility exists that LIBER libraries miss out on this transformation towards Open Science. Hence, the LIBER Citizen Science Working Group is hosting a practical workshop to set directions, present existing experiences, onboard colleagues, explore techniques for community development and show how to work with external partners.
