BalkanScienceTellers Centre

The BalkanScienceTellers Center of Helixconnect Europe aims to support the European Union’s and the Triple Helix Association’s citizen science targets with a focus on Western Balkans and Eastern Europe as countries and regions still lagging on this matter.

In the view of the European Union, citizen science is a broad term, covering that part of Open Science in which citizens can participate in the scientific research process in different possible ways: as observers, as funders, in identifying images or analysing data, or providing data themselves. This allows for the democratisation of science, and is also linked to stakeholders’ engagement and public participation.

Giving citizens a greater role in science can deliver the vision of ``science for the people, by the people`` for Europe. Some of the benefits of this concept are: efficient and transparent use of public and private science and research funding, better engagement in research, governance and accountability, bringing European policy making closer to the people whilst basing it on scientific evidence. (EU Commission, 2021)
