Co-Creating a Roadmap for Capacity Building on Open Science and Citizen Science for Research Libraries - LIBER Europe

Citizen Science has collaboration at its core and represents innovative ways in connecting Open Science with society. Many citizen science practitioners identify communication between all involved in projects as the biggest challenge of all. Following LIBER’s Open Knowledge Activities and the Vision-building workshops in the context of the INOS project, the role of research libraries in Citizen Science projects has been identified. But how do research libraries contribute to capacity building, not only for their staff but also for academic staff, researchers and students? This session aims to serve as a brainstorming tool for co-creating a Roadmap for capacity building on Open Science and Citizen Science for research libraries.
