Citizen Science refers to the general public engagement in scientific research activities when citizens actively contribute to science either with their intellectual effort or surrounding knowledge or with their tools and resources. socientize white paper on citizen science.pdf (europa.eu)

Citizen science refers to projects that actively involve the general public in the scientific endeavour, with the goal of democratizing science. Citizen scientists can be involved in all stages of research, acting as collaborators, contributors or project leaders.

Citizen science is a broad EU policy covering Open Science activities in which citizens participate in the scientific research process as: observers, funders, in identifying images or analysing data, or by themselves providing data. Publications (eua.eu)

Dissemination means sharing research results with potential users – peers in the research field, industry, other commercial players and policymakers). By sharing your research results with the rest of the scientific community, you are contributing to the progress of science in general. Whereas exploitation is the use of results for commercial purposes or in public policymaking.

Research data should be ‘FAIR’, that is findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. H2020 Online manual refers to: The FAIR Data Principles – FORCE11

Fair Principles: Describes making scholarly materials Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). ‘Findable’ and ‘Accessible’ are concerned with where materials are stored (e.g. in data repositories), while ‘Interoperable’ and ‘Reusable’ focus on the importance of data formats and how such formats might change in the future.

FAIR principles | FORRT – Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training

FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable): “The FAIR Data Principles are a set of guiding principles in order to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable” (Wilkinson et al., 2016). “These principles provide guidance for scientific data management and stewardship and are relevant to all stakeholders in the current digital ecosystem. They directly address data producers and data publishers to promote maximum use of research data” (Liber, 2017).

Horizon Europe requires the projects it funds to make their research data FAIR. In 2018, the European Commission Expert Group on FAIR Data published a comprehensive report: Turning FAIR into Reality

Gender equality means women, men, boys, and girls in all their diversity are equal and should have equal opportunities to thrive and equal participation in our society where gaps have been identified in specific sectors including employment, pay, care, power, and pensions. By closing these gaps, gender equality would bring more jobs and higher productivity.

Gender equality is a principle which also empowers women and girls since they are still facing challenges such as sexist hate speech, discrimination, violence, and harassment. The inclusion of a gender perspective in all EU policies and processes is essential to reach the goal of gender equality.

Gender mainstreaming ensures that policies and programs maximize the potential of all – women and men, girls and boys, in all their diversity. The aim is to redistribute power, influence, and resources in a fair and gender-equal way, tackling inequality, promoting fairness, and creating opportunity.
