CONCISE's Public consultations
2020
Este libro describe la primera etapa del investigación, es decir, cómo se llevó a cabo cada una de las consultas públicas que se celebraron en los diferentes países (España, Italia, Portugal, Eslovaquia y Polonia), además de proporcionar datos sobre la consulta piloto realizada en Barcelona, seis meses antes de las principales consultas. La consulta piloto permitió a los miembros del consorcio identificar qué cuestiones y consideraciones deben tomarse en cuenta al organizar y llevar a cabo consultas públicas per se. Por ejemplo, ¿cómo para gestionar la captación ciudadana, el horario a desarrollar y cómo deben ser los scripts redactado, a fin de que los moderadores de la los grupos de discu…
The public consultation held in Valencia (Spain)
2020
Este libro describe la consulta pública celebrada en València (España) que se organizó de acuerdo con las herramientas y metodología desarrolladas por los socios del proyecto CONCISE. Estos se aplicaron para desarrollar una estructura organizativa similar en todos los países socios. En España, dos socios valencianos (UVEG y FyG) fueron los encargados de organizar la consulta pública, con la participación de los 103 ciudadanos de 58 municipios y 10 nacionalidades. El proceso de selección se llevó a cabo con la colaboración de la UPF y la AECC en acciones de difusión y promoción. European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824537 This book describe…
Citizens and scientists work together to monitor marine alien macrophytes
2018
The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) is an ongoing phenomenon which has been pointed out as a major threat to biodiversity at different levels. NIS may in time become invasive (Invasive Alien Species “IAS”) and may cause biodiversity loss and ecosystem service changes. The Mediterranean Sea is an important hotspot for marine NIS (ca. 1,000 such species recorded to date. To reduce the risk of future IAS introduction and to better understand their invasive potential and spread dynamics, monitoring and surveillance plans are required. The creation of permanent alarm systems and public awareness campaigns are crucial for reducing the risk of IAS introduction. Since intensive monitor…
Communication role on perception and beliefs of EU citizens about science
2020
Este documento presenta un conjunto de recomendaciones basadas en el conocimiento de las consultas públicas de CONCISE. Los puntos se enumeran según los diferentes destinatarios: comunicadores científicos, responsables políticos, científicos y público en general. El principal objetivo de CONCISE es determinar el papel que desempeña la comunicación científica en la formación de creencias, percepciones y conocimientos sobre cuestiones científicas. Para lograr este objetivo, CONCISE llevó a cabo cinco consultas públicas en Lisboa (Portugal), Valencia (España), Vicenza (Italia), Trnava (Eslovaquia) y Lodz (Polonia) con la participación de cerca de 500 ciudadanos. Esto permitió al consorcio reco…
Monitoring fungal biodiversity – towards an integrated approach
2012
Biodiversity information databases and platforms have seen considerable progress in recent years. They have a high potential in conservation science in general, but may be even more revolutionary in relation to poorly known species groups such as fungi, whose practical conservation work has been jeopardised by scattered and poorly controlled information. We review the tradition of collecting information on species occurrences in mycology and discuss the characteristics of the present fungal biodiversity information databases. With a special focus on population trend monitoring of fruit body producing macrofungi, we emphasise several unrealised opportunities of these databases and point out …
CS Track -kyselytutkimusaineisto 2021
2022
CS Track is launching a survey to gather citizen scientists’ (16 year old and older) perspectives on activities and forms of participation, learning and knowledge-building in citizen science (CS) projects. This document presents the information related to data rights, treatment and usage. The aim of CS Track is to broaden our knowledge about CS and the impact CS activities can have. CS Track will do this by investigating a large and diverse set of CS activities, disseminating best practices and formulating knowledge-based policy recommendations in order to maximise the potential benefits of CS activities for individual citizens, organisations and society. This multi-perspective approach wil…
How Citizen Scientists Learn: Exploring Learning Perceptions Through an International Survey
2023
Citizen science (CS) is a growing field of participatory science, bringing together the public, researchers, organizations, and communities to participate in various scientific projects that unfold in different sociomaterial settings known as territories. While research on perceived learning in CS has recently grown, the discussion regarding the different learning approaches, territories, and the overall process as well as their associations with learning factors remains meager. In our study, we unpack three types of learning (formal, informal, and nonformal) and their respective territories in CS, and within this context, review a model of learning to synthesize the project-related and ind…
Citizen and scientsts work together to monitor marine alien species in Sicilian waters (central Mediterranean)
2017
We report on the experience of two citizen science projects: the Project “Caulerpa cylindracea – Egadi Islands” and the Project “Invasive Algae”, included within the “Seawatchers” platform. The first one, sponsored by the STEBICEF Department of the University of Palermo and by the Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area (MPA), aims at creating a database on the spread dynamics of C. cylindracea within the Egadi Islands MPA. The second one, coordinated by the Institute of Marine Sciences of Barcelona (CSIC, Spain), collects data on 10 marine invasive alien species. The results of these projects highlighted the important role that citizen science campaigns can have as early-warning systems. We al…
Ciència ciutadana contra prejudicis lingüístics: el projecte Milmots.eu
2017
La ciència ciutadana és un bon mecanisme per a fer recerca en l’àmbit de la demolingüística, ja que proposa la participació i l’arreplegada de dades del gran públic al mateix temps que genera una cultura científica en la societat. El projecte Milmots és una eina interactiva que neix amb l’objectiu de difondre, de conèixer i de compartir el nostre lèxic, les nostres paraules, associades als nostres pobles i les nostres comarques. L’elevat volum de mots i locucions recollit ha proporcionat un material idoni per a realitzar un estudi sociolingüístic que posa de manifest que les variables socials d’edat, àrea dialectal, nombre d’habitants de la població tenen una influència significativa sobre …
