Step Change Deliverable 5.4 - Strategy for Citizen Science in Infections Diseases outbreaks preparedness

This document outlines a citizen science strategy for infectious diseases preparedness for Italy and fostering citizen scientists' role in support of institutions responsible for managing infectious disease outbreaks and research, as part of the Step Change Project. It is the result of a Citizen Science Initiative (CSI) that included the production of a “Taxonomy of citizen science interventions for ID outbreak preparedness” (https://stepchangeproject.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/D5.2_Taxonomy-of-citizen-science.pdf) and a “Policy Brief on Citizen Science role in Infectious Disease (ID) outbreaks in Italy and Europe” (Deliverable 5.3).
