ECSA: Citizen Science & Open Science: Synergies & Future Areas of Work

Citizen Science (CS) and Open Science (OS) are among the most discussed topics in current research and innovation policy, and are becoming increasingly related. This policy brief was developed with contributions from a mixed group of experts from both fields. It aims at informing decision makers who have adopted Citizen Science or Open Science on the synergies between these approaches and the benefits of considering them together. This policy brief (DITOs Citizen Science Policy Brief #3) was developed within the framework of the Horizon 2020 project ‘Doing It Together Science’ (DITOs) to establish a collaborative network with external organisations and decision makers throughout Europe.
