The production\, use and waste management of plastic products leads to environmental impacts affecting humans\, plants and animals. To inform\, engage and empower people regarding this challenge\, VA (Public & Science) coordinates the Plastic Experiment as one part of the science festival European Researchers’ Night.Citizens from across Sweden are involved in collecting and analysing plastic waste in nature. The Experiment is divided into a collection part for everyone and a voluntary analysis part for senior pupils. The participants select one of six types of natural environment and collect the plastic litter found in a 100-meter-long area. The litter is then weighed and sorted into different categories of plastic. The results are submitted using an app. In the Plastic Experiment they also learn about the environment and why we need to keep it clean\, at the same time as actually picking up litter. \n\nDavid Gruber\, Museum of Nature South Tyrol\, ItalyNachtlichtbühne – we count lights because the night matters \n\nLight pollution is the superposition of natural light by artificial light and the resulting artificial brightening of the night. This particular type of pollution not only affects astronomers\, but also has many negative impacts on humans\, flora and fauna. \n\nIn September and October 2021 the “Museum of Nature South Tyrol” and the “Planetarium South Tyrol” coordinated a local measurement campaign within the international Citizen Science project “Nachtlicht BüHNE”. The goal of this project is to collect data on artificial light sources on the ground using a smartphone application and compare these data to satellite data which show a worldwide increase in artificial lightning. \n\nIn my presentation\, I will talk about the challenges and experiences made before\, during\, and after the measurement campaign with local citizen scientists in Bolzano \n\nMar Escarrabill\, Science for Change\, SpainHOOP Trainers: Shaping the circular bioeconomy through play and co-creation \n\nAdvancement towards circularity needs a wide range of interconnected expertises working together. Enter Citizen Science (CS): the involvement of citizens in research through multiple roles. The CS gamified intervention “HOOP trainers” -designed within the circular bioeconomy EU project HOOP- aims to introduce key scientific concepts and optimise the separate collection of the organic fraction in 8 cities through a bottom-up approach. \n\nThe web-based game (co-designed and adapted for each HOOP city) is based on an avatar’s training with a mission: convert organic waste into useful products. User’s decisions along the game will be analysed to better understand the perception of biowaste separation\, the social acceptance of bioproducts\, and the citizen’s needs and recommendations to build a more circular city. In parallel\, participants are able to discuss offline the results obtained in the Biowaste Clubs\, an open platform to co-create circular strategies among quadruple helix stakeholders. \n\n \nHélène Doerflinger\, Gurdon Institute\, University of Cambridge\, UK“Made the same way” podcast series: When young artists dialogue with scientists and sing their thoughts \n\nWe are all different\, but we all start as fertilised eggs – we’re made the same way. Human developmental biology is an emotive area – miscarriage\, fertility\, abortion and use of human embryos in research – and scientists are often worried about engaging with the public and accidentally provoking backlashes against their research. The “Made the same way” podcast series is a collaboration between young artists and scientists in partnership with Reform Radio to embrace the difficult conversations about this research and its ethical\, legal and social implications. Each episode encourages thinking and discussion about using human cells in labs. Each artist has reflected on their conversation with a scientist by creating an original song or poem to echo their feelings and stimulate curiosity about research in human developmental biology amongst their peers and explore how it might contribute positively to society. \n\nMarlene Dattoli\, University of MaltaCo-creation card game to drive environmental justice \n\nTransitioning to a low-carbon economy in the next several decades will be necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change. In this regard\, this interactive workshop will create a space using creative tools and processes for participants to explore their role as enablers of a just and sustainable future. \n\nCo-design\, co-creation\, citizen science\, open innovation have become buzzwords used in the public engagement with research. Through a card game called CourseKit\, based on design thinking processes. Participants will co-design ideas to bring policy makers\, regional bodies\, citizens and researchers together for impactful participatory science engagement activities to address Nature-based solutions (NbS) for the ‘wicked problems’ of climate change and biodiversity loss based on the principle of the right to ecological spaces. This talk is inspired by the EU-funded projects\, Varcities (H2020)\, JUSTNature (H2020) and SciCultureD (ERasmus+). \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions I – 1.2 Horizon Talks
DESCRIPTION:Kristin Anders\, University of Galway\, Ireland \n\n\n\nGiving Real Opportunities to Widen participation in STEM with novel approaches and partnerships \n\n\n\nIreland has developed many avenues over the past decades to address educational disadvantage. These efforts include providing schools within disadvantaged communities with additional resources\, as well as the development of strong Youth Work sector. While strides have been made\, gaps remain around science identity and interest. Resources remain a major barrier. Non-formal science education is a critical aspect of building science identity and science capital. Hands-on\, tailored and authentic experiences offer young people diverse and unique opportunities to engage in science. \n\n\n\nThrough collaborations with the Youth Work sector and schools\, we found a way to widen participation and reach communities often left out. We developed two activities\, an Escape Room and Youth Science Club\, designed to Give Real Opportunity to Widen participation in STEM in these contexts. The design of these activities as well preliminary findings on the evaluation will be presented. \n\n\n\nDeja Lusk\, University of Glasgow\, Scotland\, UK \n\n\n\nPromoting STEM Gender Equity: Challenges and Pathways for Change \n\n\n\nThere is a current international political focus on increasing and widening participation in STEM. One of the leading arguments for positively impacting on STEM participation is addressing STEM identity\, attitudes and aspirations. Leading research in the field conducted by the ASPIRES project (2012\, 2020) evidences addressing three areas of impact that contribute to the agentic development of STEM identity\, attitudes and aspirations. In an effort to understand effective strategies addressing gender equity in Scottish STEM\, a study was conducted which highlighted ways in which to promote STEM gender equity. This Horizon Talk highlights the findings from this study\, primarily\, the challenges and pathways for change in STEM gender equity. \n\n\n\nJackie Gorman\, Midland Science & Craig Slattery\, University College Dublin\, Ireland \n\n\n\nSharing Science – making science communications accessible \n\n\n\nAs the world becomes more complex\, it is vital that science communications is as accessible as possible. Accessibility ensures that science is reflective of society as it responds to society. Midlands Science has been working with the support of the Medtronic Foundation to develop practices that will make science communications more accessible and this work is currently in progress. It will culminate in a guide to accessible science communications and training based on research and practice work using strategies such as science capital\, universal design for learning\, key practices from adult literacy education and also design tools that respond to dyslexia\, dyscalculia etc. The session will present a real-time review of the research undertaken to date\, progress to date on developing an accessibility guide and training and anticipated outcomes from this work including a theory of change overview and an emerging community of practice in making science communications accessible. \n\n\n\nEugenia Covernton\, Lecturers Without Borders\, France \n\n\n\nLecturers Without Borders: removing barriers to science outreach \n\n\n\nThe learning of STEM from an early age is very important to empower a new generation to face the challenges of the 21st century. Teachers around the world do their best to motivate students in the learning of STEM subjects\, and most academic institutions try to contribute by organising outreach activities. However\, there’s big inequalities in access to STEM outreach. Schools that are in close proximity to academic institutions and that have more economic resources have a much easier time joining outreach events\, while scientists and schools from underrepresented communities and/or with lower resources tend to have less opportunities to participate in them. \n\n\n\nLecturers Without Borders aims to contribute to lowering the barriers for both schools and scientists\, by organising visits of scientists to schools around the world. This creates new possibilities for science engagement in unprivileged communities and gives visibility to work done by scientists all around the world. \n\n\n\nHeribert Insam\, University of Innsbruck\, Austria \n\n\n\nMicrobeX – a science center featuring microorganisms \n\n\n\nThe upcoming MicrobeX-Science Center in Zirl\, Austria\, shall focus on microorganisms governing our daily life. The storyline will be crossing atmospheric microbiology related to climate change\, food microbiology and environmental biotechnology. Visitors will appreciate living microorganisms doing their job in wastewater purification\, biogas\, food and pharmaceuticals production. A most central role will have matter cycles\, starting from deadwood decomposition\, soil dwelling microbes and those associated with plants\, supplying them with nutrients and making organic agriculture possible. Aesthetically pleasant staging will attract the visitors’ eye\, giving unforgettable impressions on luminescent bacteria\, unicellulars like the Physarum polycephalum or novel\, mycelium-based building materials. Algal and other microbe-based facades will show how future cities may eventually become greener.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions I - 1.4 Intersectoral Engagement – Planetary Health as a case study
DESCRIPTION:Niklas Marzinek\, Falling Walls Foundation\, Germany \n\n\n\nMaria Hagardt\, Public & Science\, Sweden \n\n\n\nSuccessful solutions need interconnected ecosystems – The new academic field and policy framework ‘Planetary Health’ represents the idea of an intersectoral mindset not only in its name and core idea of connecting human health and environmental sustainability\, but also in the way it urges for joint efforts from multiple sectors\, research disciplines\, and social and political actors. This session will use the ‘Planetary Health’ framework as a case study to explore means of embedding Engagement practices\, creating new and even unlikely partnerships and integrating expertise from beyond the network to adequately address complex challenges. Representatives from the international Falling Walls Engage Hubs\, whose Science Engagement activities center around engagement with Planetary Health\, will share and discuss their insights on how to foster local solutions and global impact through multi-stakeholder involvement.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions II - 2.1 Parasite Street Science
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Bialic\, Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology\, UKNicola Veitch\,  the School of Infection and Immunity\, at the University of Glasgow. \n\n\n\nParasite Street Science is an initiative formed between the University of Glasgow and the street theatre company SURGE in 2019. This collaboration’s goal is to improve communication and public engagement through the art of street theatre – specifically communication about sleeping sickness: a deadly parasitic disease transmitted by the tsetse fly. The performance was showcased at the Merchant City Festival in 2021 and again in 2022\, forming the basis of the main stage of the project\, which took place in Malawi in October 2022. The project involved community members\, scientists\, medical practitioners\, health and theatre professionals from both Scotland and Malawi: a global effort exploring the potential of street theatre for complex health issues. The performance toured villages in two infection hotspots performed to thousands of people. Our session will lead the discussion on how to build a street theatre performance that simplifies complex ideas and creates impact.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions II - 2.2 ACT Waterford: can creatives working with scientists change attitudes and behaviour on climate action?
DESCRIPTION:Sheila Donegan\, Eoin GillNollaig Healy\, Calmast\, South East Technological University\, Ireland \n\n\n\nCitizens are aware of climate change but move to action is slow. Can creatives with scientists engaging communities help change attitudes and behaviour? \n\n\n\nACT Waterford \, a yearlong interdisciplinary climate action project did just that. Waterford a county in Ireland has a population of 127\,000 that aims to decarbonise by 2040. Working with the council\, Calmast STEM engagement centre selected 5 different communities\, pairing them with 5 creatives and scientists\, each focused on a separate climate action theme. Creatives from theatre\, visual arts\, sculpture\, horticulture\, sustainability used various techniques to attract /engage individuals (all ages and backgrounds) and communities. The works were displayed in cultural festivals. \n\n\n\nThis session will relate how ACT Waterford created\, engaged and activated a diverse range of urban\, rural and online communities on climate action. It will reflect on the difficulties met in a complex multi-audience and multi-disciplinary project

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions II – 2.3 Navigating complexities together – A workshop on creating fruitful research-practice collaborations in science communication
DESCRIPTION:Philipp Burkard\, Science et Cité\, Switzerland\, Liliann Fischer and Lisa Mertin\, Wissenschaft im Dialog\, Germany \n\n\n\nIn the past years\, science communication research and practice have both become established as communities. To learn more about good and effective science communication and reflect on its development\, joint projects by researchers and practitioners are an important means. However\, for such endeavors to be successful\, it is essential that both parties are clear about their needs and expectations. \n\n\n\nIn this session we will shed light on challenges for joint projects\, invite participants to share their previous experiences and explore possibilities for future collaborations. To encourage reflection about prospective projects\, participants will get to use a newly developed tool that provides orientation among the many possibilities of collaboration and exchange. A complementary worksheet will allow participants to consider a future project in detail and formulate their expectations toward it. \n\n\n\nThe tool and worksheet were developed by the German project Transfer Unit Science Communication.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions II – 2.4 You can MAKE it! MAKE it accessible\, diverse and inclusive
DESCRIPTION:Rony Ben-Chaim and Eti Oron\, Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem\, Israel \n\n\n\nWe give different pathways to different learners to cope with complex STEM challenges. People come from diverse backgrounds\, but we believe that it is important that everyone will have opportunities to participate in science learning\, regardless of their personal or social circumstances. However\, supporting equitable approaches to science learning outside the classroom requires special efforts to ensure that science learning is accessible\, diverse\, and inclusive. The Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem takes hands-on activities and gives all participants an opportunity to participate and engage in a meaningful way by changing the way it is delivered. In order for everyone to experience success\, we challenge on one hand and give scaffolds on the other hand in this interactive session.

Identifying open questions by practitioners \n\nGiven the heightened importance of science communication in light of current crises\, it is pertinent to ensure that it is conducted in an effective way. This confronts science communication practitioners with many questions in their daily work. Science communication research can provide some orientation\, but scientific insights on many issues relevant to practitioners are still lacking. \n\nTo spark a debate on this and inspire relevant research\, an analysis of the open questions by science communication practitioners in Germany was conducted. The rich results show among other things that practitioners seem to be particularly interested in learning more about the impact of their communication\, their target groups and current challenges. The poster will encourage participants to engage with the results\, reflect on them in light of their own work and point out further questions of interest. The data was collected in the framework of the German project Transfer Unit Science Communication. \n\nAnne Kearns\, Laura Grehan\, Adapt Centre\, Ireland; Christophe Debruyne\, Université de Liège\, Belgium; Mary Colclough and Ciaran O’Neill\, Trinity College Dublin\, IrelandDebunked: How to Tell Fact from Fiction \n\nHave you ever shared an article or meme on social media that you believed to be true\, only to realise later that it was “fake news”? In this time of information overload\, it’s an easy mistake to make\, and it has happened to most of us. Mis-or Dis-information is becoming one of the biggest challenges we face. It is increasingly difficult for people to trust the research they are being presented with. In 2021-2022\, in an effort to tackle this universal problem\, ADAPT in partnership with Trinity College Dublin\, engaged local residents to co-develop an informative\, fun\, and interactive public workshop to help people uncover these incidents of “fake news”. \n\nThis poster presentation will outline how ‘Debunked’\, co-created a series of one-off interdisciplinary workshops for adults\, promoted awareness of the importance of data literacy in tackling Mis or Dis-information\, providing an opportunity for participants to improve their data literacy skills in an interactive and social space. \n\nXenia Raufeisen\, TU Dortmund University\, Germany@-Reply: The positive effects of replied messages on bystanders’ credibility perception of scientific information \n\nI propose that science communicators can enhance their credibility perception through active engagement in online debates. Social media allows private users and organizations not only to state posts\, but also to reply to others. For instance\, Donald Trump is famous for twittering wrong information about the existence of climate change. One strategy of climate scientists is correcting the misinformation in replying to Trump’s tweets and stating the right facts about climate change (Paul\, 2019). So\, scientist can post scientific facts on their accounts or institutional website or they can reply to other users. In a series of seven experiments\, I investigated the effect\, that the information in a replied-message is perceived as more credible than a single-stated message containing the same content. In fact\, I found that this effect appears in various contexts can be explained through enhanced authenticity perception of the communicator. \n\nJulia Panzer\, Wissenschaft im Dialog\, GermanyWho do we want to reach? Approaches to describing target groups in science communication \n\nScience communication often tries to address different parts of society. In order to find out how this can be done successfully\, an understanding of specific target groups is essential and it can be helpful to think beyond socio-demographics to get a clear picture of who we are trying to communicate with. This interactive poster presents the results of an analysis of typologies and dimensions from research and practice for distinguishing and describing science communication target groups. The participants have the opportunity to answer questions for themselves\, reflect and to bring “their” target group to life by referring to different categories and characteristics. What attitudes and prior knowledge does the target group have? Are there certain channels through which information is consumed? Is there a particular relation to the institution or person communicating? Based on these and other categories\, an in-depth discussion of target groups can be initiated directly on site. \n\nJohn Hyland and Catriona Boyle\, Teagasc\, IrelandAn Evaluation of the Irish Science Week Festival of Farming and Food \n\nScience Week is a week-long engagement event in Ireland. As part of Science Week the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority (Teagasc) hosts nationwide events every November. Results of the 2021 evaluation survey were positive; participants said it increased their interest in science. A focus group with primary school pupils served as an opportunity to assess perceptions of the event and wider issues. Pupils stated the educational packs Teagasc provided enabled them to apply science in a real world setting. Those who did not typically enjoy science appreciate when art is a medium of engagement. Female scientists were seen as outsiders; making science less appealing to girls. Results suggest that the event is achieving its objective of increasing engagement. However\, there are issues that require attention. Results from the 2022 festival are forthcoming and both 2021 and 2022 evaluations will be combined for a EUSEA conference poster presentation. \n\nBonny Ortiz\, the University of Puerto RicoCelebrating Latin Women in Science: Uncovering Groundbreaking Contributions & Overcoming Challenges \n\nThe Next Generation of Latinas in STEAM initiative started four years ago with a community of passionate Latinas in Puerto Rico who worked together to share and celebrate their scientific and social contributions. These dedicated Latinas inspire and encourage the next generation to strengthen their scientific literacy and pursue STEAM careers by providing opportunities to develop the skill set and networks needed to succeed in the field. Through exciting activities and opportunities\, young Latinas and girls connect with successful Latina scientists\, share ideas\, receive advice\, and gain empowerment and confidence to navigate the STEAM paths. \n\nAs part of the initiative\, we have successfully organized four “The Power of Women in Science” symposiums that impacted over 4\,000 participants. We have also created two books\, held two career fairs in STEM\, celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science\, and developed over ten workshops in advanced science topics for teachers\, as well as four orientations on STEAM careers. Alongside our latest activity\, the creation of a traveling exhibition that tells inspiring stories of pioneer Latinas in STEM\, our initiative has been highly successful in breaking stereotypes so that young Latinas can feel identified and proving to young women that they can be scientists without compromising their identity\, culture\, or gender. \n\nSusan Crawford\, FutureNeuro SFI Research Centre for Rare and Chronic Neurological Diseases\, IrelandGrowing Brain Health and Neurological Disease Awareness in A Primary and Secondary School Education Context.  \n\nThis poster explores the planning\, implementing and evaluating of a collaborative University-School-Community initiative to address Growing Brain Health and Neurological Disease Awareness for both primary and secondary school educators and parents in an education context. The project involved FutureNeuro Researchers\, Clinical Neurologists and Educators collaborating to develop and deliver quality webinars to audiences in lay English with working examples of how to optimize brain health and also how to grow awareness\, understanding and acceptance of neurological diseases. Qualitative feedback from all stakeholders using the reflective framework for teaching and learning indicated that participants evolved across technical\, situational\, and sensitizing reflections following engagement with the programme and the overall initiative. \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n\n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Parallel Sessions III – 3.3 Citizen science and SDGs: supporting stakeholder dialogue for effective policy making
DESCRIPTION:Antonella Passani\, T6 Ecosystems\, Italy \n\n\n\nOur session will be dedicated to the relationship between Sustainable Development Goals\, citizen engagement and policy making. In the session we would like to explore how relevant SDGs are in science communication and especially in Citizen Science (SC) and what are the challenges in communicating and working towards them. \n\n\n\nThis seems well alignment with the conference: the SDGs are a way of looking and trying to govern the complexity of our time and thier achivement asks for citizen involvement at several levels (such as behavioral change\, data provision\, etc). \n\n\n\nResearch results demonstrate that citizen science is “already contributing” to the monitoring of 5 SDG indicators\, and that citizen science “could contribute” to 76 indicators\, which\, together\, equates to around 33%. At the same time\, effective and efficient monitoring of the SDGs will require better utilization of new data sources and data techniques (Daguitan et al. 2019) and non-traditional data sources.

SUMMARY:Parallels Sessions III - 3.4 Poster Pitches II
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Martine Farrugia\, University of Malta\nTowards a national strategy for public engagement with science – A case study for Malta \nSmall states present significant amounts of educational policies\, however\, policies on engaging various publics with science are relatively lacking or non-existent. The need for public engagement with science (PES) activities has increased in various countries such as Malta\, and are potentially interesting to the ‘converted’ citizens\, however\, they tend to be sporadic. This tends to lead to resources being wasted\, a lot of repetition\, and lacunae in the areas being addressed. A pragmatic worldview was taken as a theoretical framework together with a mixed-method approach to analyse the PES public sphere in Malta. An investigation of the links between the organisers and the citizens attending science events was conducted to identify the relationships (especially related to power) between them. Stakeholder theory\, Actor-network theory\, and a mixture of top-down and bottom-up approaches guided this study’s approach to identifying and understanding the public in the Maltese PES public sphere. \nMáire Caffrey\, Teagasc – Agriculture & Food Development Authority\, Ireland\nHow can organizations support Public Engagement? What do the scientists think? \nTo explore scientists’ perceptions of Public Engagement (PE) in Ireland\, Agri-food researchers were surveyed to gather data on their participation in PE\, their motivations\, perceived barriers\, future intentions\, and identify the support needed. The data was analysed to establish any demographic influences (gender\, career status….). The aim was to establish how organizations can support\, encourage\, and build public engagement. \nThese scientists have a high level of participation in PE\, with high levels of largely altruistic motivations. However\, they are unhappy with the current institutional support. They would like PE to be recognized in career progression processes. They need relevant training. Gender\, career-status\, age\, and discipline all influence public engagement behaviours. \nResearch organizations must recognize and value public engagement in their career assessment processes\, provide training\, and supply support to encourage more participation and deeper engagement. \nAndrea Troncoso\, EUSEA\nIMPETUS for citizen science: Innovative funding schemes and recognition \nThe poster will show the main components of IMPETUS and its accelerator calls and EU Citizen science awards\, to show and motivate the attending participants to disseminate the calls and submit ideas and proposals in the coming calls. The accelerator calls for citizen science will comprise financial and training support\, helping new and ongoing initiatives to ground their achievements deeper and to belong to a broader and stronger citizen science community. \nFrancesca Conti\, Andrea Troncoso\, Formicablu\, Italy\nFutures thinking and Open Schooling: new ways of engaging with science \nThe poster will depict the main results of the FEDORA project\, an EU-funded project that looks into dissonances in the current way science is taught at schools and proposes pathways and models to integrate interdisciplinarity\, new languages and futures thinking into a school that opens to the community. \nElisa Gärtner\, Futurium\, Germany\nIdea Sprint – A productive interaction space between scientists and citizens \nWith the Idea Sprint the Berlin-based Futurium introduces a low-threshold interaction space between scientists and citizens. In the first pilot\, the focus was on improving urban-rural mobility for young adults. Fifty school children at the age between 13 to 17 years translated their everyday experiences into creative prototypes. The experiences\, demands and visions of the young target group provided an addition to the quantitative research results. The scientists used the input to elaborate a publication on the interlinkages of spatial planning and mobility offers\, which is targeted at local level politics. \nGeorgia Mitrousia\, Rothamsted Research\, United Kingdom\nKnowledge exchange and public engagement for agricultural research into practise \n\n\nRothamsted Research is a world-leading\, non-profit research centre that focuses on strategic agricultural science to the benefit of farmers and society worldwide.\nWe actively engage with the farming industry to deliver knowledge\, expertise and research outcomes. Though a diverse programme of events\, discussion groups\, publications and farm walks\, we talk to farmers and those in the agricultural sector to learn about the challenges facing them\, identify areas of shared interest\, and maximise opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.\nWe also communicate our science through public engagement activities which are varied and include public open events and displays at key public and stakeholder events\, as well as hosting visits and engagement activities. \nThis poster summarises recent highlights of engagement activities from our Harpenden site with a focus on the arable sector of UK agriculture for maintaining global food security. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Parallel Sessions IV - 4.1: Horizon Talks
DESCRIPTION:Lenka Pelechova\, Newcastle University\, UK\nPublic engagement through qualitative survey: the case of DNA data storage technology\n\n\n\nPublic dialogue and engagement are being increasingly recognized as important in the development of new technologies because they help to create more engaged\, inclusive\, and trustworthy relationships between institutions\, scientists\, and the wider public. Also\, public attitudes to novel technologies are one of the key factors determining the success of new products and applications. \nA small-scale qualitative online survey was conducted to engage with the publics and to assess views on DNA data storage technology\, which is currently in development. This early engagement survey revealed very low awareness of this developing technology\, whilst at the same time\, participants showed interest and asked questions relating to social and economic implications. The findings recommend greater interdisciplinary collaborations between social scientists and novel technology developers and the use of qualitative surveys in the assessment of public attitudes. \n\nClaire Riordan\, CÚRAM\, SFI Research Centre for Medical Devices\, Ireland\nScientists as Advocates of Science – Why\, when and how? \nThis session will explore the role of individual scientists in advocating for science with policymakers\, and how we\, as science communicators\, can support our research communities to bridge the gap between scientists and policymakers. The first part of the session will present the case study of CÚRAM\, an Irish Medical Device Research Centre\, who developed an innovative\, interdisciplinary-oriented Science Advocacy Training initiative within their public engagement programme\, and the lessons learned through this process. The second part of the session will be interactive and reflective in nature\, providing participants with an opportunity to reflect on and share their perspectives on how science advocacy training could be incorporated into their work\, and the unique challenges they may face. \n\nEmma Clarke\, University of Malta\nJUSTNature and Varcities: Shaping communities for a just\, sustainable world \nThis horizon talk will present two sister projects: JUSTNature and Varcities which are aiming to to establish sustainable models for increasing the health and well-being of citizens exposed to different climatic conditions and challenges and to activate citizens through nature-based solutions for a just low carbon transition based on the principle of the right to ecological space as recently iterated by the European Green Deal. City practices labs (CiPeLs) constitute the backbone of the projects’ activities by delivering community-engaged\, co-explored\, and co-decided innovation in 6 European city practice labs (CiPeLs) through empowering the place-making capacity of a multitude of actors and through running multiple local stakeholders workshops to bring policy makers\, regional bodies\, citizens and researchers all together for impactful participatory science engagement activities to address Nature-based solutions (NbS) for the ‘wicked problems’ of climate change and biodiversity loss. \n\nJulia Panzer\, Wissenschaft im Dialog\, Germany\nHow can we know what good science communication is? Quality indicators and how they can help communicate better \nLately\, there have been increasing discussions not only about science communication in general but also especially about the need for “good” science communication. But that is a very elusive concept – how can we evaluate and measure the quality of science communication? Fortunately\, there are indicators that can help to assess the achievement of goals and quality\, which often cannot be observed directly. When an activity aims to be interactive\, the extent to which participants are actively involved can be considered an indicator and be observed. Accuracy and clarity of a text can serve as indicators of how likely it is that information was successfully transmitted and e.g. a readers’ survey can reveal how clear the text was to them. This talk will give an introduction to the idea and relevance of quality indicators and discuss scicomm-specific ones. Participants will get inspiration for their everyday work and some hands-on ideas for how they can think about quality in a helpful way.

SUMMARY:Parallel Sessions IV - 4.3 Open their minds\, open their hearts\, open their checkbooks: Convincing stakeholders to fund citizen science
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Styles and Andrea Troncoso\, EUSEA \n\n\nThis interactive session will introduce the audience to the multitude of ways that citizen science practices can be used to enhance research and engagement with societal actors within the quadruple helix (Government\, Universities\, Industry\, and Civil society). However\, with this flexibility comes some complexity in how to pitch your project and how to approach a variety of potential funders or stakeholders. \nThis session will combine narrative building\, and stakeholder engagement techniques to provide participants with the mindset of how to approach different funding bodies. Participants will be introduced to some citizen science case studies as potential funding bodies. Then in groups\, they will develop a pitch for a designated citizen science initiative to present to a “funding board”- consisting of workshop facilitators- to help develop skills from each other and gain confidence in pitching to multiple stakeholder groups.
