Bring citizen science to your municipality
An action-research network where citizens, university and local government investigate the territory's challenges together and turn them into real action.
Three protagonists, one shared challenge
In each municipality we open a node through a school. There, the Network's three protagonists come together to investigate a local challenge.
Citizens
Local residents and students investigate: they ask, explore and interpret.
University
The University of Vigo provides the method and supports the scientific process.
Local government
The town council drives the node and commits to the actions that arise from it.
From local challenge to action
Action research focused on real challenges: we generate situated knowledge and turn it into action for the territory.
Defining the local challenge
Together with the municipality, we choose a local challenge worth investigating.
Citizen research
Citizens ask questions, produce data and build the conclusions, with scientific support.
Sharing with the community
We share and enrich the results with the whole local community.
Defining real local action
We turn the knowledge into action and decisions for the territory.
The network in action
The network's projects and open knowledge
Go into each project to see its challenge, methodology and results, and download the publications, data and videos of every study openly.
The Post-Growth Citizen Science Network is an initiative of TIASLab, at the Post-Growth Innovation Lab of the University of Vigo.
