The European Commission is increasingly recognizing the potential of citizen science to support environmental policy decisions, notably by contributing to the knowledge base needed for policy- making and by improving public engagement. However, this potential still remains largely untapped. The European Commission would thus like to take a step towards the better integration of citizen science into policy by exploring the conditions for its reliable and efficient use in policy.
A consortium formed by BIO Innovation Service, Ibercivis and the Natural History Museum in London is developing an inventory of environmental citizen science initiatives taking place at EU, regional or national level to explore their contribution to environmental policy-making.
If you are leading, funding or know about relevant citizen science initiatives or platform in your country with potential or actual effects on any step of the policy cycle (awareness-raising, early- warning, policy development or implementation, monitoring or evaluation, compliance or complaint handling), then please let us know – https://goo.gl/forms/GwpIvp8TOyCH8clJ2.
We will acknowledge your contribution in the study report. Do not hesitate to share this mail with your contacts. We would be grateful for your contributions by 23rd February 2018 preferably. Thanks in advance.
