8th GUNi World Report Special Issue

Have you seen the new publications about Citizen Science on the GUNi World Report? We have invited experts on the topic to explore its meaning and some experiences that we hope will inspire you. Here's a summary of the publications:

Citizen Science: democratising knowledge to build the society of the new millennium. Joaquim Brugué, full Professor of Political Science and Administration at the University of Girona (UdG), explores the concept of Citizen Science: "[It] refers to different ways of actively involving the general public in scientific research; a practice whereby scientists and citizens work in collaboration to produce new knowledge".

Citizen science: the involvement of citizens in research through the lens of the TeRRIFICA project. Through the following video capsule, Norbert Steinhaus (coordinator of TeRRIFICA at Wissenschaftsladen Bonn), Mirjana Utvic (Center for the Promotion of Science) and Glen Millot (Sciences Citoyennes), present Citizen Science from the experience of the TeRRIFICA project.

Ciencia Ciudadana “glocal”: los casos de Barcelona y la cuenca amazónica. Este nuevo podcast cuenta con dos realidades geográficamente distintas, pero con retos y aproximaciones a la Ciencia Ciudadana comunes. Mariana Varese, Directora de paisajes amazónicos en la Wildlife Conservation Society, habla sobre el monitoreo de la biodiversidad acuática en la cuenca amazónica (Perú, Brasil, Bolivia), mientras que Diana Escobar presenta el trabajo de la Oficina de Ciencia Ciudadana del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (España). Ambos casos muestran una perspectiva “glocal”, es decir, proyectos que miran la realidad local con una conexión global. ¡Escucha el podcast en la web!

Also available in Spanish, Catalan, and French on the website.

Until the 6th of February (extended deadline)

The Triple E Awards are a global recognition of efforts towards the quest for entrepreneurship and engagement in higher education. It is the first award to focus specifically on different dimensions of the universities' third mission. The Triple E Awards aim to foster change in universities and to emphasize their role in their communities and ecosystems.

This global event will take place from 26-29 June 2023 in Barcelona (Spain) and will gather more than 400 university leaders, managers, practitioners and academics. So far, entries from 51 countries have been submitted! Find all the information on the website: https://www.triple-e-awards.com

As Award Patrons of the Triple E Awards, we encourage all GUNi members to submit your entry and join us at the Awards Ceremony in Barcelona. In addition, you will be able to benefit from two side events: the ACEEU Stakeholders Forum 2023 and the Triple Helix Conference. 

Regional Awards: The Triple E Awards acknowledge regional differences regarding the development of the third mission of universities, specially in terms of entrepreneurship and engagement. Therefore, the majority of Awards are not global, but implemented in different regions around the world.

Diverse categories: Aiming to capture a wide variety of entrepreneurship and engagement aspects in higher education, the Triple E Awards allow individuals and institutions to submit entries in a broad range of categories.

Check out the website for more information about the regions and categories!
