Quarterly newsletters, social media posts and updates

This deliverable is made of two parts. (1) A regular, quarterly newsletter will inform stakeholders about news, events and recent publications. This will be a publication that is focused on a particular theme (often lead by the researchers and experts of a work package), offering both editorials and opinion articles, as well as short research info sheets. This part of the deliverable consists of multiple newsletters, which will be produced from M03 to M33. On an annual basis, at M12, M24 and M36, the newsletter will include information (title, date, location, content) on significant events (conferences, seminars, workshops) which will be organised by MICS. (2) Posts and updates on various social-media channels, aimed at reaching out to wider public and getting them interested in the project and its results, as well as keeping stakeholders up-to-date with the progress of the project. This part of the deliverable consists of multiple posts and updates, which will be produced from M01 to M36.

Impact-assessment methodology and indicators for citizen-science research ready to be used in the toolbox

Novel impact-assessment methodology and indicators ready to be applied to a diverse range of citizen-science challenges in the context of NBSs. Methodology and indicators will be built based on the requirements of the call and on the feedback received from the impact assessment, including the review criteria and the questionnaires.

NBS-science briefs

Four NBS science briefs focusing on 1 general recommendations 2 Western Europe specific recommendations 3 Southern Europe specific recommendations and 4 Central and Eastern Europe specific recommendations The NBSscience briefs will be addressed to policy makers to deliver the results in a concise rigorous way ensuring they can be easily translated into actual policies At the same time their form should enable stakeholders in the NBS science and representatives of civil society organisations and NGOs to efficiently utilise MICS results in an integrated manner

Report on pilot testing in the Central and Eastern Europe region (HU)

Description of the site development the role of citizens the validation framework and the results of impact assessment

A multilingual ontology

This multilingual ontology is related to the SDG domains and covers four languages widely spoken in the test and validation sites. The ontology’s vocabulary will be based, where possible, on EuroVoc, the EU's multilingual thesaurus [http://eurovoc.europa.eu/drupal/].

Multimedia resources and policy briefs presenting general and region-specific recommendations

Eight multimedia resources with subtitles in the relevant languages and policy briefs presenting general and regionspecific recommendations related to measuring the impact of citizen science
