CeOS_SE Project

As the CeOS_SE Project reached its conclusion in December 2024 with a final event in The Hague, the Netherlands, we are proud to present its key outcome: the "Policy Recommendations for Sustainability and Connection to the EOSC." These recommendations provide a roadmap for integrating Citizen-Enhanced Open Science into research institutions, strengthening the role of libraries, and fostering collaboration across Europe.

Evening falls in The Hague, and the question of the day must be answered: Is #Citizen Science worth the effort? Yes, Citizen Science IS worth the effort! More than that, it can be a crucial element in ensuring and anchoring societal impact and securing research funding in the future. However, Citizen Science represents a significant additional task for many researchers – which is why research libraries and citizen science centres or hubs, such as the SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Centre, are vital resources for research and researchers. The above was discussed at today’s multiplier event marking the conclusion of the Erasmus+ project #CeOS_SE. Many thanks to our excellent colleagues and collaborators from #LIBER, University of Twente, University of Leiden, and our productive partners in Southeast Europe!

So great to see so many competent people working on #citizenscience. Today I was invited by LIBER, a European association of research libraries to talk about INCENTIVE Project in which we set up four Citizen Science Hubs throughout Europe. One is embedded at our DesignLab University of Twente. Looking forward to new collaborations.
