The Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) in the UK has published a new report entitled “Future Directions for Citizen Science & Public Policy” in June, 2021. Over the past year CSaP has brought together policymakers and academics to discuss citizen science — practices that tap into ‘citizen knowledges’, as one of our authors describes it. Through a series of seminars, lectures and online conferences we have gathered a breadth of views on the challenges and opportunities that governments face in integrating citizen science into public policy.
