Abstract: BLOOM is an EU Coordination and Support Action implemented from 2017 to 2020. The project aims at bringing together partners from across Europe to debate, communicate, and engage the public in the potential of bioeconomy. An economy based on biomass promises to foster a circular economy and to enhance climate change migration, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Bioeconomy covers a broad range of sectors, from agriculture and the agrifood industry, to fisheries, forestry, biorefineries, chemistry and (bio) energy - but despite its many applications, it has yet to enter into the public consciousness as an exciting solution to societal challenges. Across Europe, five regional hubs are being established to foster public engagement in the bioeconomy and to create space of exchange and debate. The hubs are focusing on different areas important to the regions. They will enlarge their regional networks with Civil Society Organisations and engage young European citizens, science communication networks, NGOs, media and – crucially – the general public, through a series of co-creation workshops and outreach activities. Additionally, schools in ten different European countries are specifically involved and working on how to integrate bioeconomy into the diverse European school systems. Anchor points in the BLOOM projects are five BLOOM hubs in different regions in Europe that form communities of practice. They are led by consortium partners who invite and involve network partners, such as regional triple helix partners and other bioeconomy stakeholders. Together, they build working teams that develop in co-creation workshops outreach activities and materials strengthen increased public engagement in bioeconomy.

Abstract: ORION is a 4-year project (runs from May 2017 to April 2021) that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Science with and for Society (SWAFS) Work Programme. The main aim of SWAFS Programme is to build effective cooperation between science and society. Open science is a core strategy of the European Commission that involves widening participation and collaboration as well as sharing research processes and outcomes to improve research and innovation. ORION will explore ways in which research and funding organisations in life sciences and biomedicine can open up the way they fund, organise and do research. The project aims to trigger evidence-based institutional, cultural and behavioural changes in Research Funding and Performing Organisations (RFPOs), targeting researchers, management staff and high-level leadership. ORION long-term vision is to “embed” open Science and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) principles (ethics, gender, governance, open access, public engagement, and science education) in RFPOs, in their policies, practices and processes to organise and do research. After an assessment exercise on Open Science awareness and practice, the project will co-design and perform “co-creation experiments” with different grouping of RRI actors. Project’s experiments will tackle three specific challenges of Open Science: opening up the research engine; identifying risks and opportunities presented by disruptive technology; running multi-stakeholder Citizen Science (CS) projects in fundamental research. These challenges will serve as case studies to try out different co-design/co-creation methods with multiple stakeholders, and engaging unusual blends of actors, e.g. funders and citizens, or researchers, industry and citizens. The project will identify drivers and barriers, interests and values, and in some cases produce “prototypes”, in the format of new Citizen Science projects, new research strategies and new funding frameworks, and last but not least new training material.

Abstract: The RETHINK project aspires to rethink science communication, both its theory and practice, to accommodate the major challenges to the individual and collective process of making sense about science. A guiding principle of RETHINK is that the contextual knowledge of citizens across the EU should play a vital role in shaping future scientific and technological developments and the sharing of this knowledge should be facilitated. The overall objective of RETHINK is to contribute to making the European science communication ecosystem more open, inclusive, reflexive and adaptive. The project’s aim is to improve the quality of interactions between science and society by providing concrete recommendations and training resources for nurturing open and reflexive science-society interfaces. The RETHINK project brings together six partners as well as four linked third parties from ten European countries, integrating scholarly and practical expertise, experimentation and good practices of new approaches in communication science. It brings together organisations ranging from academia to science centres, from media to technology assessment and a Europe Sounding Board that league very different backgrounds and areas of expertise. RETHINK has established seven hubs, called Rethinkerspaces, which will generate a thorough and widespread overview of the national science communication landscape and act as testbeds and validation mechanism. Such Rethinkerspaces have been established in universities and science engagement organisations from seven European countries that together present a wide range of the European science communication landscape.

Abstract: Science Shops (SciShops) are entities that carry out independent participatory scientific research on behalf of citizens and local civil society. It is an open, inclusive and often interdisciplinary process in which citizens and community groups collaborate with researchers to help solve issues at local and regional levels. SciShops will build an extensive knowledge base by analysing the practices of the existing European and International Science Shops. The goal is to engage community stakeholders in knowledge cafes and other community events in order to provide examples or the benefits of community-based research. The developed strategies and novel tools provided by the project, including a knowledge hub, a SciShop navigator, twinning and matchmaking platform, seek to provide guidelines for different types of organisations on how to establish and run a Science Shop. SciShops aims at building on and expanding the capacity of the Science Shops ecosystem in Europe and beyond. As part of the SciShops project, at least ten new university and non-university-based Science Shops will be established in Europe by project partners. The non-university Science Shops are affiliated to different types of organisations, such as small and medium enterprises, large enterprises, non-governmental and non-profit organisations and research institutes. The SciShop team aims to demonstrate the benefits of starting a Science Shop for various kind of organisation, as well as to show how civil society gains from collaborating with Science Shop in community-based participatory research.

Abstract: The mission of this journal is to explore constructive connections between science education and civic engagement that will enhance both experiences for students. In the 21st century, mathematical and scientific reasoning is an essential element for full participation in a democratic society. Contributions to this journal will focus on using unsolved, complex civic issues as a framework to develop students’ understanding of the role of scientific knowledge in personal and public decision-making, along with examining how such knowledge is embedded in a broader social and political context. Since many pressing issues are not constrained by national borders, the journal encourages perspectives that are international or global in scope. In addition to examining what students learn, it will also explore how this learning takes place and how it can be evaluated, documented, and strengthened. By exploring civic questions as unsolved challenges, the journal seeks to empower students as engaged participants in their learning on campus and as citizens in their communities.

Abstract: A decade ago, the European Commission (EC) warned: 'Our society is faced with challenge of finding its proper place in a world shaken by economic and political turbulence ... science, technology and innovation are indispensable to meet this challenge. However, there are indications that (their) immense potential is out of step with ordinary citizens'. (Science and society action plan, 2001). In response, the Commission proposed 38 actions, involving researchers, media professionals and the Commission itself that were vital if the public had confidence and supported their scientists in providing solutions to the problems facing the European Union (EU). Many of these actions centred on better, more honest and more engaging communication amongst researchers, journalists, broadcasters, policy makers and European citizens. But a key question was how to empower Europe's researchers to communicate better with the audiences identified by the Commission as crucial to ensuring science-in-society relations fit for the new millennium. After all, whilst researchers are well educated in their scientific disciplines, there is little in their training that prepares them to be involved in dialogue around the more controversial aspects of their work and its consequences, or even to talk to busy media professionals and policy makers with deadlines to meet and decisions to be reached. ESCONET, the European network of science communication trainers, set out to address this problem. ESCONET has a team of 24 trainers from 12 countries across Europe, including many media professionals and leading science communication academics. ESCONET was and is ideally set up to deal with the complex needs of researchers across a wide variety of natural, applied and social science disciplines from countries covering the entire EU. Under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), we developed a set of modules that could be put together flexibly to create science communication training workshops to fit the time available and the particular needs of the researchers to be trained. Under FP7, we have delivered two series of three-day workshops in both 'basic' science communication practices and advanced, deliberative communication and engagement around key and controversial issues. The results of the FP7 have been 'mass' science communication training on a scale never achieved before: - a total of 20 workshops delivered under contract to the EC - 10 in 2009 and 10 in 2010; - a total of 367 training places delivered - 168 in 2009, 199 in 2010; - 231 researchers from 34 countries, trained, including 25 EU countries, 2 candidate countries, 5 other European countries and 2 non-European countries. The immediate feedback from these workshops has been overwhelmingly positive. More in depth evaluation shows that training on the workshops results in increased confidence and science communication activity levels.

Abstract: MACOSPOL is a joint enterprise of researchers in science, technology and society across Europe to bring together their various expertises in order to devise a collaborative tool (called a platform) to map out scientific and technical controversies. The idea is that European citizens wishing to involve themselves into technical and scientific issues, need an equipment that is similar to those devised for generating opinions in normal political matters. This equipment does not exist yet for technical democracy even though enormous amount of research has already been done. The digital world facilitates exchange of methods and expertise and it is this facilitation that we want to maximize by bringing together the MACOSPOL consortium. This consortium allows the connection of the best research in Science, Technology and Society with the best research on web-based tools. Once the platform devised and tried out, it will be tested whether or not, in real sized controversies, it is possible for European citizens to come to better judgment about those issues.

Abstract: IRIS (Interest & Recruitment in Science) addresses the challenge that few young people (women in particular) choose education and career in science, technology and mathematics (STM). Women represent the greatest recruitment potential to STM; moreover, a higher participation from women may expand the ways of thinking and working within this area and contribute to gender equity. To understand and respond to this challenge, diverse causes and cures must be sought, ranging from school experiences and youth culture via higher education STM curricula and recruitment efforts, up to research department culture, PhD choice and employment patterns. IRIS aims to contribute to understanding and improving recruitment, retention and gender equity patterns in higher STM education. 1. On what priorities, values and experiences do young people base their educational choice? - How may youth's educational choice be interpreted through sociological perspectives on late modern societies? What makes many women turn away from STM? - Which considerations determine choice of PhD research topic for female and male STM students? 2. What are the success factors for efforts aimed at recruiting more (female) students to STM? - What features of STM education, in secondary school and at university level, influence recruitment of (female) students? - What are the effects of STM recruitment initiatives? 3. In what proportions, and for what reasons, do STM students opt out of STM education? - Are there differences in opt-out-rates between countries, institutions and genders? The main instrument will be a questionnaire to be completed by first-year students. All partners will contribute to instrument development, data collection and analysis, each with a specific focus. Questionnaire data will be complemented by literature reviews and smaller quantitative and qualitative studies. Central stakeholders will be brought into the work and results will be disseminated widely.
