Magnifying Open Science: Insights from the BUA Participatory Research Map

Thursday April 23, 2026: 14-15.30 – III: Magnifying Open Science: Insights from the BUA Participatory Research Map and more This presentation was given as part of the event series: Magnifying Open Science. Open Engagement with societal stakeholders is one of the four pillars of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. The Berlin University Alliance Participatory Research Map maps over 90 projects in which researchers collaborate with societal stakeholders. With the Participatory Research Map, we not only want to increase the visibility of participatory research but also explore how different stakeholders and research modes contribute to open science and open knowledge generation. In this third event in the Magnifying Open Science Event Series, needs, possibilities and challenges of monitoring societal engagement from different angles were discussed. There were presentations from other projects focusing on monitoring societal engagement: Petkovich, D., Maiello, A., & Gold, M. (2026, April 23).
