NEWSERA - Portrait of Citizen Science Communication Strategies in EU Citizen Science Projects (Questionnaire D2.1)

This questionnaire is part of Deliverable 2.1 "Portrait of Citizen Science Communication Strategies in EU Citizen Science Projects" (NEWSERA, project num. 873125). One of the NEWSERA objectives is to explore the current strategies of science communication as implemented by Citizen Science projects across the European Union and the United Kingdom. To achieve such a goal, NEWSERA deployed a survey campaign dedicated to collect quantitative data about communication tools, resources and targets as reported by citizen science projects. This survey has been designed through a multiple steps strategy and it is based on previous research experiences about Citizen Science activities. The questionnaire regarded different areas of interest, including: 1) the structure of the project (e.g. funding, leader, scope); 2) the communication resources as deployed by projects; 3) communicative targets; 4) level of engagement of the citizens (e.g. tasks and roles assigned to citizen scientists). These elements allowed us to define a dedicated portrait of Citizen Science Communication Strategies.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 873125
