Citizen Participation in Science and Technology

Objective

The CIPAST proposal aims at : - Bringing together organisations (1) having significant experiences in the use of participatory procedures in scientific and technological issues, (2) belonging to the different families of experienced actors in that field (parliamentary offices, research institutes, science shops and science museums, academic researchers), (3) already structured in European networks (EPTA, IGLO, ECSITE, ISSNET). - Mobilizing these organisations for setting up a training programme tailored to the various contexts in which participation of civil society is relevant; - this training programme will be designed by processing experience feedback gained from +/- 40 international organisations with recent practice in participatory initiatives; - the target audience for this training programme will be decision-makers (+/- 100) belonging not only to the political sphere, but also to research sector, non profit organisations and industry; a special effort will be made to identify participants in the new member states of the E.U.; - re-usable training tools will be produced to support the expanding CIPAST network and capitalise the outcomes of the programme. - Relying on that transfer of expertise and training activity, CIPAST platform will moreover contribute to structure an expanded network of European organisations involved in participatory processes, through dissemination of best practises and circulation of information and documentation, thanks to the management of a discussion list, a website and a European newsletter, and to the organisation of several workshops and a final conference.
