REINFORCE-ing citizen science in large research infrastructures - Delivery of a policy roadmap

Watch here our last Conference

A key element of the REINFORCE project has been the development of a policy roadmap to support the take-up and integration of citizen-science projects in large research infrastructures. This online, open-classroom conference, which takes place as REINFORCE enters its final phase, will deliver this roadmap, look at the lessons learnt and provide key recommendations. A round-table, involving members of the project team with expertise in different areas (including research, policy, engagement and evaluation) will discuss relevant questions and highlight the role of important factors in the successful implementation of citizen-science projects in a scientific-research environment. The project feasibility and sustainability plan will also be presented, placing the project resources in the context of their exploitation in the longer-term.
