New podcast episodes on participation and responsibility in citizen science

The ECS Podcast Hub, which is integrated into the European platform citizenscience.eu, lists podcasts from across Europe that focus on citizen science, science communication, and civic engagement. The episodes invite listeners to explore current debates surrounding citizen science from various perspectives. The two new episodes center on the themes of participation, inclusion, and the motivation to engage in scientific research.

The first episode, “Who gets to do science?”, explores the question of who has access to science and what barriers stand in the way of broad participation. Experts share their insights on how citizen science can help make research more inclusive and give more people the opportunity to actively shape scientific processes. The second episode, “Is participation in citizen science a choice, a responsibility, or a privilege?”, examines the various reasons for participating in citizen science projects. The discussion highlights different perspectives on participation and the prerequisites for successful collaboration between science and society.
