Research Design for Participatory Citizen Science

This workshop provides an overview of features and basic frameworks for designing participatory Citizen Science research processes.
We introduce and discuss a common framework (phases, principles, involved actors) and variations for participatory research design. We will also reflect on commonalities and differences to (disciplinary) research processes attendees are familiar with. Based on this, participants can generate first ideas on how to implement the research design within their research project or idea. 
In addition to short theoretical inputs, interactive exercises and plenary discussions allow for a multi-layered engagement with research design. Participants' application contexts will be integrated into the workshop and may include research projects, participatory decision-making processes and policy development and implementation. 

In addition, we advise registering for the  advanced module on process facilitation which serves as a complementary module.
