PEOPLE-POWERED CHANGE – IMPETUS POLICY

RECOMMENDATIONS & BRIEFS FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE

Building on the evidence and experience generated by throughout the IMPETUS Project, the Nesta team has developed a series of policy recommendations and briefs to help shape the future of citizen science across Europe.

These offer practical, evidence-based guidance for three key audiences: EU and national funders; cultural institutions and public bodies; and practitioners and researchers. Together, they reflect IMPETUS’s ambition to lay the foundations for a more inclusive, impactful, and policy-connected citizen science ecosystem for years to come.

These include:

How citizen science data can help public institutions and civil society organisations make better local decisions

The role of citizen science in European water management and policy

Why inclusion needs to be at the forefront of citizen science

Citizen Science in the Arts & Humanities

AI and Citizen Science: Building trust, transparency and hybrid Intelligence
