Descripción del proyecto
Cambios institucionales sostenibles para promover la participación pública en ciencia y tecnología
La ciencia ciudadana, es decir la participación de los ciudadanos en la investigación científica a fin de aumentar el conocimiento científico, ha experimentado un crecimiento y una popularidad cada vez mayores en los últimos años, lo que ha permitido democratizar la ciencia. El objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos TIME4CS es respaldar y favorecer cambios institucionales sostenibles en organismos de investigación en pos de fomentar la participación pública (ciudadanos y asociaciones de ciudadanos) y la ciencia ciudadana en ciencia y tecnología. El proyecto se centrará en cuatro áreas de intervención y en características clave del cambio institucional, lo que permitirá crear un programa de transferencia de conocimientos y aprendizaje mutuo que conllevará el desarrollo de planes de acción personalizados.
Objetivo
TIME4CS (Supporting sustainable Institutional Changes to promote Citizen Science in Science and Technology) aims at supporting and facilitating the implementation of sustainable Institutional Changes in Research Performing Organizations (RPOs) to promote Public Engagement (citizens and citizens associations) and Citizen Science in science and technology. TIME4CS has identified 4 Intervention Areas (IAs) that alone or combined can stimulate the Institutional Changes necessary to promote Public Engagement in R&I activities: i) Research; Education and Awareness; iii) Support resources and Infrastructure; iv) Policy and Assessment.
Institutional Changes should be: i) irreversible, ii) comprehensive, iii) inclusive and iv) contextualized. Bearing this in mind, TIME4CS will establish a knowledge transfer and mutual learning programme between Front-Runners (FRs) and Implementers (Is). The first ones are RPOs with a comprehensive expertise in Citizen Science and that have already undergone Institutional Changes. The latter are TIME4CS beneficiaries still in the early stages of the implementation of Institutional Changes to support Citizen Science, willing to face the challenge of introducing CS activities in their structures. The mutual learning programme will lead to the development of specific and tailored roadmaps for each implementing organisation inclyding a set of specific and detailed actions to follow (Grounding Actions). The whole process will be supported by two facilitator partners supporting the knowledge transfer and the definition of the Grounding Actions.
TIME4CS will be carried out by a consortium integrating 11 partners from 8 EU Member States and 1 associated country. TIME4CS Consortium merges a variety of complementary expertise, and the proven partners’ skills, the experiences identified and their involvement in similar initiatives are strategic for matching TIME4CS objectives.
