Dear Lucy, dear Miriam, dear all,

I am truly sorry for the delay in getting back to you, these past few weeks have been terribly busy...!

Many thanks for your messages and interest in the event, it would be a great pleasure to welcome you in Paris on March 25th for the European Citizen Science Forum on DIY Bio.

Please find attached the updated version of the programme. 

We went through a long process before finalising the format of the event, as we wanted to make it the most participatory as possible. 

- The European Stakeholder Round Table will take the form of deliberative workshops, discussions aimed at exchanging good practices, fostering policy dialogue and locally co-creating joint understanding of challenges and potential.

- The "Voices of Citizen Science & DIY Bio" video at the beginning of the event will serve as an introduction of the debates. We would like each of you to share through a 1-2 min video ('3 main issues that [you] see in the theme of building bridges between institutions and the grassroots'). Here we will try to showcase many different voices of citizen science as a "provocation" for further discussions in the room. For example the GOSH community are contributing their view this way as they are holding their annual meeting at the same time as the roundtable.

But as a participant of the event, you will of course take part in the discussions as a speaker of one of the round tables. We will send you during the week more information about the type of contribution we expect from the discussants.

Regarding travel arrangements, I confirm you that we can cover your travel and accommodation costs (up to the limit of 300 euros in total per participant). Please let us know what costs you would need to be covered. Once we confirm, you can proceed with the booking and send me your receipts in order to get a refund.

=> We are closing registrations on March 3rd, so we would be very grateful if we could get an answer from you until then. Feel free to contact me should you have any question.

Thank you very much.
Looking forward to meeting you soon :)

Best wishes,
Imane

Hi Imane,

I just found out that the event you mentioned is already live and has a website: http://togetherscience.eu/events/european-citizen-science-forum

"Despite interest in building relationships from policy makers, research institutions and citizen science initiatives, there is still a substantial gap in understanding between them. In order for citizen science to continue to fulfil its potential, a more inclusive dialogue connecting the grassroots communities with the various institutions within the research, industry and policy ecosystems needs to take place.

The roundtable will cover issues such as motivations for engaging, transparency, support and new visions for the future of science, with a focus on helping to build the relationships between institutions and citizen science communities. The sessions will encourage discussions between representatives of the many different stakeholders that are vital to the practice of citizen science and its future within the research and innovation ecosystem. We are pleased to confirm the participation of Thierry Mandon, the French Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research, and Francois Houllier, the Acting President of Université Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC). The roundtable will be held in front of a public audience and streamed online, in a participatory format."

Good to see you already have some important policy/academia stakeholders. As Mirela said, I'm also looking forward to see how grassroots DIY science communities will be represented in this event...

To follow up on my question about the significance of these events and the policy paper-writing activities of the DITOs project, I got some clarification from Pieter van Boheemen, biohacker at the Waag Society, via the DIYbio mailing list. The relevant part here:

"the final "Biodesign" policy paper will be ready by May 2019. The first version will be published in May 2017 and presented at the Biofabbing conference in Geneva. After that there will be an annual update. The YouTube videos are an attempt to make the ongoing process more transparent. I will post updates and keep my camera ready as much as I can, so you can witness yourself how things develop. Also, apart from Waag Society four more project partners will be actively involved in this paper: L'Universite Paris Decartes, Universite de Geneve, Kersnikova and the European Citizen Science Association. The content is shaped by the evaluation of the 200 events and input from round tables, the video series, etc. I am afraid there is also no straight answer to what the potential impact will be. That is something I hope to find out and document with the video series as well."

I don't yet know if there are further policy papers, if the focus is entirely on "biodesign" (DIYbio?) or if broader DIY science will also be discussed since that term has been used by the DITOs project. But it's very helpful to have at least this information.

All the best
Lucy

Hi from me too!

NAME: Imane Baïz

ABOUT ME: as a project manager, I have been organising collaborative Biodesign events within the Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity in Paris. 

I have had the chance to meet some of you in Berlin last November (Rüdiger, Egle, ...), and since that moment my colleague Aleks and me have decided to address major concerns of the DIY community during the European Stakeholder Round Table which will take place on Saturday, March 25th in Paris. 

We would be glad to have you in the discussions and find solutions together :) !

Please find below the invitation and feel free to contact me should you have any suggestion/question.

All the best,

SAVE THE DATE

Roundtable on Citizen and DIY Science: the relationship between grassroots and institutions

Paris, March 25th 2017

Citizen Science has been highlighted at both European and national policy levels as a potential means to move towards an open science practice. In order for citizen science to continue to fulfil this potential, a more inclusive dialogue connecting the grassroots communities with the various institutions within the research and policy ecosystems needs to take place.

This roundtable will bring together these different groups to tackle issues such as regulation and data, infrastructure and support, transparency and reciprocity, and Science 2.0 from the perspective of the relationship between institutions and citizen science communities. The discussions will be held in front of a public audience and streamed online.

This event is being organised by the DITOs (Doing-It-Together Science) project with the support of the French Ministry for Research & Higher Education and the Paris City Council. It will run alongside Biodesign Nightscience, a festival of DIY workshops and lighting talks for the general public.

This is the save the date announcement. Further information on the venue and a detailed programme will follow in the new year.

We look forward to welcoming you in Paris in 2017!

Best wishes,

Imane Baïz

It's probably to late, but did anyone register ? I am sure that it would be a great experience.
