The University of Tartu Library is organizing a seminar, "Science for All: How Society Makes Science Better", which will focus on citizen science and public engagement.

The library has been a strong advocate for open science and has supported researchers in this area for over a decade. One of the cornerstones of open science is citizen science. Citizen science, also known as amateur science, can be described as the voluntary participation of members of the public in scientific research.

We invite you to discuss how universities and libraries can involve citizens in scientific projects and why this is important. The seminar will introduce different ways to involve volunteers.

The first half of the training day will be in Estonian, followed by an English-language workshop on science shops after the coffee break, which will explore why and how universities could involve civil society in both research and teaching.

Who is invited?

Researchers, students, project managers, librarians and all other interested parties are welcome!

Henk Mulder, Programme Director of the Master Science Education and Communication Programme at the University of Groningen, „Science Shop explained – creating benefits from public engagement for universities and research“- in English

The University of Groningen has successfully implemented the Science Shop concept, which brings university knowledge and expertise directly to the service of civil society. This is achieved by involving students and researchers in solving practical problems raised by civil society. This collaboration provides students with practical education with a societal mission, researchers with material for new research questions, and civil society with knowledge-based advice for problem-solving.

Drawing on his 25 years of international experience, Mulder presents examples of public engagement practices in other European universities alongside the experiences of the Groningen Science Shop. This offers valuable ideas and inspiration for rethinking the teaching, research and communication activities of universities.
