The deliverable D4.1: Guidelines and Recommendations Based on a Range of Best Practices for Achieving Societal and Policy-Maker Engagement presents a list of recommendations for achieving engagement of society, including policymakers, with citizen science.

Through the identification of existing projects and analysis of best practice, this report aims to establish a framework for improving engagement in existing and new projects.

A list of recommendations for engagement among stakeholders is formulated based on existing literature. These recommendations are then allocated to the identified groups of stakeholders to suggest the most appropriate ways to engage different audiences.

As with all public deliverables from the project, you can download it from our project archive on Zenodo.
