Unmasking citizenwashing: the dos and don’ts of participation
Bruxelas (Bélgica) e Online10:00
De 14 Nov até 14 Nov, 2023
The discussion will focus on combining the input of experts in public participation with the voices and recommendations of civil society. The symposium will help to identify the main characteristics of citizenwashing and explore its various forms and manifestations. Both large-scale aspects and more granular examples will be examined, with the help of activists who often bear the brunt of countering citizenwashing claims. This symposium will also facilitate discussion on effective strategies and solutions to combat citizenwashing and ensure meaningful public participation. The event will be followed up with conclusions and recommendations collected throughout the discussions.
Target group: The symposium will bring together experts in political science, academics and researchers, European CSOs, environmental NGOs and policymakers.
Come and discuss this topic with us!
The symposium will be held in a hybrid format with EN-FR interpretation.

The Lahore Science Mela (LSM) is an annual citizen science festival organised by the Khwarizmi Science Society with its upcoming fifth edition planned on 28th and 29th October 2023 at Crescent Model Higher Secondary School, Shadman, Lahore (Boys Campus). The two day festival incorporates thousands of science exhibitions hosted by schools and private bodies, along with hundreds of KSS’s own demonstrations. The CERN’s LHC Interactive Tunnel, LIT Disco and exhibitions by the BioRobotics Institute of Italy are emblematic of the international projects that the Mela hosts. Volunteers from all over Pakistan sign up to showcase their science communication, media, and management skills.
Lahore Science Mela 2022 had over 200 performers presenting more than 3000 unique experiments, demonstrations, and performances from various fields, and attracted over 75,000 visitors over both days. Featuring a public planetarium and a large exploratorium with live experiments, indigenous inventions, puzzles, and demonstrations, the event was well-received, attracting people from all walks of life .

Fostering The Higher Education Sector In Europe: The Role of Citizen Science in Transforming Universities -
The European Commission is making a policy effort to provide support for the higher education system in the European Union, enabling it to effectively respond to the changing needs of society and the economy. Citizen science has the potential to play an important role in transforming the higher education system. Universities are now venturing into the realm of citizen science as a means to engage the public in scientific research, to teach science (or the scientific process) and promote alternative avenues of knowledge creation. Despite the potential advantages, citizen science is not yet widely adopted as a standard approach in high education and academic culture.
In this context, the European Citizen Science (ECS) project, which connects a rich citizen science community, wants to provide a space to exchange practical experiences in integrating and using citizen science practices in universities and to gather recommendations for the European Commission and other stakeholders in ways of supporting citizen science in the high education sector.
To do so, ECS is organising an online event for everyone (such as academics, educators, university staff, citizen science practitioners, early career researchers, policy makers, civil servants, general public and industry representatives) interested in learning about and discussing the role of citizen science in transforming universities in Europe.
Citizen Science and Frontier Research: ERC Annual Event 2022
04:00
De 07 Dez até 07 Dez, 2022
Citizen science plays an important role in encouraging public engagement with research and tackling real-world problems. Research involving citizens and allowing them to gain more insight into the scientific process can lead to more trust in science in general. Also, our environmental, health, social, economic and political challenges require scientists, citizens, policymakers, and in general, a broader range of stakeholders, to find new ways of collaborating with each other. By sharing lessons learnt and best practices within and across scientific domains, the following challenges faced by both scientists and citizens will be addressed: Participation and motivation: What are the main reasons for scientists to engage with citizens and for citizens to engage in science? How do participants benefit from their experience? What are the key obstacles for widening participation? Strategies for engagement: What are the best ways to attract and sustain participation over time? How can communities of practice that encourage engagement and learning be created? What is the best way to combine physical and online tools/techniques? Quality and impact: What type of knowledge can be generated and according to which standards? Is engagement with citizens a way to enhance the quality of science, or only to enhance science impact in the wider society? What is the concrete impact on scientific practices and everyday lives of citizens? What are the key enablers for citizen science?
