Self-assessment tool for Institutional Changes and Impact (RFO)

As part of T8.2, which aims to investigate the institutional pathways that help embed Citizen Science (CS) in the European research landscape, Université Paris Cité (Learning Planet Institut) developed a self-assessment tool. This tool was structured around the EU-funded TIME4CS framework, which identified four key intervention areas:

Research  

Education & Awareness  

Support Resources & Infrastructure  

Policy & Assessment  

These areas are integral to the functioning of universities and research institutes, which were the primary audience for the Stock-taking" institutional support for Citizen Science in Research Performing Organisations (RPOs) developed by the TIME4CS project.

The questions in this self-assessment tool were specifically tailored for Research Funding Organisations (RFOs) to evaluate their integration of citizen science at an institutional level. The attached Excel file is the self-assessment tool, designed to generate immediate results. These results offer an overview of the organisation's integration across the four intervention areas mentioned above.
