Workshop: Civic Science: Reframing the Role of Science in Society, October 2-3, 2014 in Washington, DC

这次研讨会将汇集科学家，哲学家，行政人员，社区组织者，政策制定者和立法者来研究公民科学。其主要目标是界定什么是公民科学，具体说明它与公民科学和活动家街头科学的区别，并产生公民科学的最佳实践。提案人还希望制定影响政策讨论和专业教育的战略，并在改变关于科学在社会中的作用的全国对话方面取得一些进展。这项工作应有助于培养科学家和非科学家的集体能力，共同解决民主社会中的现实问题。 将生成一张白色纸

This workshop will bring together scientists, philosophers, administrators, community organizers, policy makers, and legislators to examine civic science. The main goals are to delineate what civic science is, to specify how it differs from citizen science and activist street science, and to generate best practices for civic science. The proposers also hope to develop strategies to impact policy discussions and professional education, and to make some headway towards shifting the national conversation about the role of science in society.This work should help foster the collective capacities of scientists and non-scientists to come together to solve real-world problems in a democratic society. A white paper will be produced
