Elena Giglia, “Open science: in dialogue with society”

We shall explore the two-way connection among science and society - as Open Science is not just "sharing" at the end of the process, it's a different way of creating knowledge starting from the beginning, and possibly co-creating it. After discussing the potentiality of citizen science, we shall delve into the realm of science communication with a focus on science for policy, for a truly evidence-informed policy making.
