Policy Roadmap on Research infrastructures for citizen science

excerpt from: What are the Policy Challenges for the Development of Research Infrastructures for Citizen Science in Europe?

[...] * Relevant gap: this is a fundamental gap to be covered to make CS effective approach to address societal problems closer to the needs of the citizens. Each EU MSs has at the moment a different level of maturity in perceiving CS as valuable assets to address SDGs goals. However, increasing such level for all MSs and to reach a common understanding on what CS is and to what extent it can provide valuable contribution to society through evidence-based data and knowledge is an important step to establish a common approach to develop CS at EU level. This objective is of utmost relevance for large research infrastructures and fundamental research due to the difficulty of grasping the practical relevance of this research for non-experts

Here, I would stress out the importance of boundary organizations in order to facilitate uptake of citizen science by other infrastructures (Recommendation 9 of D8.3)
