Workshop programme
In presence activity, Irish College Leuven, Grand Auditorium and small conference room
In this workshop, we introduced participants in the FAIR principles for Citizen Science and the elements that need to be in place to make sure citizen contributions are integrated according to scientific best practices as well as ethical standards. The workshop focused on sharing experiences and a discussion about what are realistically achievable approaches to improve crowdsourcing activities in the heritage sector in this regard. How and when can citizens intervene contributively in the heritage guardianship process? How can these contributions be recognized and valorised? Participants worked together in groups on specific themes such as recognition, authorship, co-curation.
