The Polish National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and Business and Science Poland (BSP) offices in Brussels organise a talk with Mr. Bruno Maquart, President of the European Network of Science Centres and Museums (ECSITE) and Chairman & CEO of Universcience. The topic of the talk is citizens’ engagement in research & innovation, more specifically in the EU Missions and Horizon Europe, and questions that will be tackled are: What are the benefits of citizens’ engagement? How to draw the attention of the EU citizens and engage them in participation in science research and innovation, and in the policy-making processes? Overloading citizens with surveys and consultations can lead to disengagement. What actions should we consider to avoid citizen fatigue? How to measure the impact of citizens’ engagement accurately to secure the best quality? What are the best examples of the activities of the citizens’ engagement based on the ECSITE experience? Registration for the talk is required by 26 September. In the registration form you can indicate the type of presence (at the venue or online) and submit questions for the speaker.
