European Citizen Science
Podcast Hub
This is a dedicated space where you can access podcasts on citizen science in Europe and beyond. We start with episodes recorded within the ECS project, with external hosts or by us, and will further expand it to include contributions from the wider community.
Democratising research: skills that connect science and society
How can researchers be better prepared to open up science to society?
In this episode of the PATTERN podcast series “Scoping Open and Responsible Research and Innovation”, we dive into two essential transferable skills that lie at the heart of Open RRI: Citizen Science (CS) and Science Communication (SC).These skills go beyond traditional academic training since they empower researchers to engage meaningfully with citizens, co-create knowledge and communicate research with clarity and purpose.
In this podcast episode, we bring together voices from two major European initiatives: ECS and REINFORCING to discuss what platforms and trainings they are developing, how institutions embed CS and SC practices in their structures and cultures and what projects can learn from one another to shape a more connected and sustainable future for Open RRI in the ERA.
