AAA Science looks for citizen. Active, shared and participatory knowledge

Seminar at SHAREITALY Conference by Giovanna Ranci and Sarah Orlandi (Creando)

Can science involve citizens? Can citizens from all over the world participate in new scientific discoveries?

This is the case in Citizen Science projects involving  volunteers – of different countries and age – through web platforms and events in schools, parks and museums –  to observe and collect environmental data – such as sighting animals rather than classifying astronomical images.

Does this collaboration really bring a benefit to scientific research?

Let’s talk about Citizen Science with:

Andrea Sforzi – Director of the Natural History Museum of the Maremma e Board member of  ECSA European Citizen Science Association

Alba L’Astorina – giornalista e ricercatrice presso l’Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell’Ambiente (IREA) del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), Gruppo di ricerca “Studi sociali su Scienza, Comunicazione ed Educazione”
