This session will showcase a range of innovative methods and activities for engaging the public in the research process through Open Science from around Europe. Examples include co-creation formats and methodologies,
citizen science approaches, public and multi-stakeholder dialogues on topics ranging from genome editing to the bioeconomy.

of putting open science into practice.
