EOSC Innovation for Citizen Science Fermín Serrano, Fundación Ibercivis – Socientize.eu Third Community Workshop on Open Science Cloud Amsterdam 7 April 2016 @ferminserrano @ibercivis @socientize #cienciaciudadana #citizenscience
Speech by Commissioner Carlos Moedas in Amsterdam, NL:
"Open science: share and succeed"
Amsterdam, 4 April 2016 “Help us ensure citizen scientists contribute to European Science as valid knowledge producers, by 2020” Citizen science From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists.
Scientific work undertaken by members of the general public, often in collaboration with or under the direction of professional scientists and scientific institutions General public engagement in scientific research activities when citizens actively contribute to science either with their intellectual effort or surrounding knowledge or with their tools and resources. INNOVATION any change –not just technological– based on knowledge –not just scientific– which generates value –not just economic

Knowledge Skills
people
Are we able to give to people the idea that #citizenscience tools and methodologies can change their approach to scientific questions? WHAT CAN EOSC DELIVER TO CITIZEN SCIENCE?
Many things. YES. e.g. environment for innovation
Then, can we frame the research space? Each model of CS requires specific services
Ported apps, frameworks Volunteer computing Data management Backup and Load balance Visualization Authentification Volunteer sensing Legal and ethics Automatization tools Guideles and toolkits Repository of resources Volunteer thinking Gamification tips Quality assurance plan Indicators Training and education Grass-roots activities Physical and digital spaces Recruitment, stratification Open innovation labs Funding channels Participatory experiments Access committee ...Governance Public engagement occur in all the phases of the scientific research worflow

AMATEURS/VOLUNTEERS
Training, data quality assurance, open evaluation, scientific equipment, data, workflows, notepads residencies, accelerators, investment reputation, trust, passion... - Different goals: dissemination outreach empowerment contribution collaboration
- At different scales: Local, regional, international Pop-up experiments, long term
- Different areas of knowledge ( humanities vs biodiversity) - Different technologies (Epiwork vs Twitter) - Different skills/experiences/reputation:
Experts Skilled Curious HOW COULD EOSC-CS BE IMPLEMENTED?
Targeted deployment of CS services by designing open CS VO/WP and/or
Mainstreaming CS methodologies i.e. embeding activities in Lifewatch, DARIAH...) THANKS
DISCUSSIONS e.g. Open calls and open evaluation e.g. Cloud like eduroaming e.g. adaptation of self-evaluation such as RRI-Tools (under development within ECSA) e.g. quality assurance (dagta gathering, access, experiences...) http://ideasquare.web.cern.ch
