Clearly identifying the target groups, managing expectations, and working with the group rather than for the group are important elements discussed at the Summit. Specific techniques were also debated including gaming and competitions, engaging the traditional media to raise the profile and co-opt larger communities. How to maintain the momentum built remains nevertheless a challenge for most projects that have a finite funding frame.

Aside from the funding, bottom up initiatives like social street (http://www.socialstreet.it/) also depend strongly on the commitment of key individuals be developed and sustained.

4 Conclusions and Next Steps The Citizen science and Smart Cities Summit was a very useful opportunity to scope out the field of activity of these two sets of initiatives. The evidence presented shows the vitality

and diversity of the field but also a number of critical points:

Citizen science projects are more than collecting data: they are about raising awareness, building capacity, and strengthening communities.

Likewise, smart cities are not only about ICT, energy and transport infrastructures:

Smart cities are about smart citizens, who participate in their city’s daily governance, are concerned about increasing the quality of life of their fellow-citizens, and about protecting their environment. Technology may facilitate but is no solution per se.

Unfortunately to date there seems to be little synergy between citizen science and smart cities initiatives, and there is little interoperability and reusability of the data, apps, and services developed in each project.

It is difficult to compare the results among citizen science, and smart cities projects or translate from one context to another.

The ephemeral nature of much of the data, which disappear short after the end of the projects, means lack of reproducibility of results and makes longitudinal analysis of time series challenging if not impossible.

There are challenges with respect to the analytical methods needed to integrate quantitative and qualitative data from heterogeneous sources that need further research.

Building and maintaining trust are key points of any citizen science or smart city project. There is a need to work with the community and not just for, or on, the community. It is critical not just to take (data, information, and knowledge) but to give back something that is valued by the community itself.

The development of citizen science associations in Europe and the US, as well as fora for smart cities to share experience, components, and tools are important developments that may address some of the points above. There are also actions through which the European

Commission Joint Research Centre can make an important contribution:

Map citizen science and smart cities projects, and generate a semantic network of concepts between the projects to facilitate search of related activities, and community building.

Provide a repository for citizen science and smart cities data (anonymised and aggregated), software, services, and applications so that they are maintained beyond the life of the projects they originate from, and made shareable and reusable.

Citizen Science and Smart Cities

Develop regional test beds for the analysis and integration of social and environmental data from heterogeneous sources, with a focus on quality of life and well-being.

Undertake comparative studies, and analyse issues related to scaling up to the European dimension.

Make available the JRC knowledge base on semantic interoperability, data models, and interoperability arrangements and standards to support citizen science and smart cities projects.

Sp flash tool mac download. Partner with the European Citizen Science Association, and contribute to its interoperability activities.

Work towards making the JRC, and the European Commission, a champion of citizen participation in European science.

Some of the actions above have already been launched; others will be developed in the course of 2014, and will be reviewed in 2015. Together they will contribute to a new role of the JRC to support of citizen engagement in European science and policy.
