<p>Citizen engagement in science is a reality. People are involved as volunteers in the<br>
scientific process, commonly in data collection, but also in other phases, such as quality<br>
assurance, data analysis and interpretation, problem definition and the dissemination of<br>
results. The critical purpose of any citizen science project is to contribute to scientific<br>
research, but also empower citizens creating a collaborative effort between scientists and<br>
their community. It also promotes science literacy and critical thinking for an informed<br>
society, increases trust in science and contributes to defeating the fake news.</p>
<p>The #CitSciComm Labs are the core activity of the NEWSERA project, aimed at unveiling<br>
the potential of citizen science projects as a communication mechanism for science<br>
and technology. The #CitSciComm Labs, composed of science communicators and<br>
data journalists, representatives of citizen science projects and their quadruplex-helix<br>
stakeholders, work on co-designing innovative strategies to better communicate. Each<br>
Lab is named after the addressed stakeholder and has local groups in Italy, Spain and<br>
Portugal.</p>
