Thursday April 23, 2026: 14-15.30 – III: Magnifying Open Science: Insights from the BUA Participatory Research Map and more

Open Engagement with societal stakeholders is one of the four pillars of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. The Berlin University Alliance Participatory Research Map maps over 90 projects in which researchers collaborate with societal stakeholders. 

In this third event in the Magnifying Open Science Event Series, there will also be presentations from two other projects focusing on monitoring societal engagement:

  • Margaret Gold (Center for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, the Netherlands) will introduce Project MEECSE: Monitoring the implementation of Enabling Environments for Citizen Science & Societal Engagement practices, and,
  • Dr. Antonella Maiello (Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs, Leiden University, The Netherlands) and Dr. Dan Petrovics (Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs, Leiden University, The Netherlands) will introduce Project EmPowerED: Enabling Positive Energy Districts through citizen-centered socio-technical models for upscaling of the heat transition.
