GOING TOGETHER FOR CITIZEN SCIENCE
Strengthening ties between science, education, technology and society is one of the major topics in University of Twente's new strategy Shaping2030. And there are many ways to achieve this, with citizen science being one of them. The term 'citizen science' refers to a more balanced basis for collaboration between scientists and citizens in tackling societal challenges, applying scientific methods. DesignLab functions as a sandbox environment for this, promoting interaction between researchers, students and end-users.
Organising this event expresses UT's ambition to join forces with all those who are interested or involved in Citizen Science, with the motto "Let's go together to make more impact with Citizen Science!". Highlights of the day were the (internal) kick-off of UT's Shaping Expert Group Citizen Science, the keynotes and discussions about the challenges and impact of Citizen Science, and of course the launch of the Citizen Science Hub by Thom Palstra in his last days as UT's Rector Magnificus.
