#science shop

A conference in Florence brought together the main national actors involved in "science helpdesks", initiatives that aim to make citizens an active part of scientific research

A collaboration between a diabetic patient and the FBK eHealth research group stemmed from the "La bottega della Scienza" project, which gathers scientific research proposals advanced by citizens and involves schools.

The Italian Network of Science Shops is born: it unites realities which collect and carry on ideas for scientific research proposed by citizens

We visited the "Boutique des sciences" in Lyon, one of the most interesting landmarks in the European landscape of "Science Shops", organizations that carry out scientific research on behalf of civil society

We met in Bonn Norbert Steinhaus, one of the managers of the city's "Science shop", a structure able to mediate between the needs of citizens and those of different local stakeholders
