Description
Helmholtz stands for cutting-edge research to address major societal challenges such as climate change, energy transition, health and environmental protection. Citizen Science (CS) and other participatory research formats enable the exploration, development and implementation of transformative solutions together with society. In this way, research tackles major challenges not only for society, but together with society, and jointly builds a solid evidence base for socio-political solutions. On a national level from 2020 to 2022, the Helmholtz Association, with the participation of other research institutes, has led the development of the white paper “Citizen Science Strategy 2030 for Germany”. This strategy deals with the challenges and potential of citizen science in the next ten years and formulates recommendations for action. In order to meet the associated challenges, a rapid response from the Helmholtz Association and a concerted approach is necessary, and can be addressed by this new Cooperation Across Research Fields (CARF). The proposed break-out session will map existing activities in Topic 5, identify needs, opportunities and challenges , and develop a roadmap for joint working.
