Exciting panel discussion at #ECSA2024 about the impact of Citizen Science!
Citizen Science's transformative impact has already been observed at multiple levels, including within policy and at specific local levels. Let's prioritize impact on the CS-agenda, as highlighted by Dr Susanne Hecker, Chairwoman of ECSA. And it's not just about societal impact; scientific impact is also crucial! Citizen Science fosters excellence!
We've already seen a significant contribution to policy action impact from Citizen Science projects, with many projects receiving funding from the EU. Additionally, in innovation, Citizen Science is a key priority when projects are funded, as noted by Dejan Dvorsek, DG R&I, European Commission.
Future for Citizen Science: In 10 year Citizen Science will be the main pillar for frameworks for Research and Innovation.
