Citizen Science is a game changer. The transformation it brings affects citizens just as much as the institutions involved in scientific and research processes—from the academic field to non-formal educational and research contexts. At this Town Hall Meeting, we invite our partner institutions in current EU-funded projects on Citizen Science, professionals from a wide range of institutions, as well as representatives of grassroots, bottom-up, and community-driven research to mingle and meet.
