1 Online Participative Engagement Tool

2 Objectives promote deeper engagement on social issues: scientific citizenship -- local and global scale knowledge sharing and co-evolution of ideas -- support collectively informed reflective practice at all levels of problem solving provide portable virtual platform & observatory support for crowd-sourcing conduct methodologically-guided experiments to evaluate various approaches for engaging the citizens in the democratic consultative process establish a framework of normative forms and associated models, metrics and KPIs to inform best practice and assess the efficacy of social engagement

4 Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation Arniani, M., Badii, A., De Liddo, A., Georgi, S., Passani, A., Piccolo, L.S.G., & Teli, M., 2014: Collective Awareness Platform for Sustainability and Social Innovation: An Introduction. ICT systems leveraging the emerging "network effect" by combining open online social media, distributed knowledge creation and data from real environments ("Internet of Things") in order to create awareness of problems and possible solutions requesting collective efforts, enabling new forms of social innovation.

5 Application Scenarios for Participative Engagement Tools 1. Collective sharing of knowledge and insight responsive to societal challenges 2. Grassrooting solution building to inform policy decision making 3. Crowdsourcing R&D problem solving 4. Crowdfunding for innovation

6 Specific user needs Share experiences and ideas Overcome the separation between experts, policy makers and citizens Create an innovative learning community which can support the policy cycle (planning, implementing, evaluating) Help visioning, Create Scenarios, manage User Profiles and Experts Databases Create associations and cooperation spaces between initiatives help to go beyond individual choices Crowdfunding Provide facilitation process

7 Main functionalities of SciCafe2.0 Tool to promote and manage debates on-line to browse on-line information and services; to organise the retrieved on-line knowledge, information and services in personal databases, and directories to share knowledge, information and services contained in the personal databases with the community; to browse shared information and services stored in the platform and organised according to an ontology web streaming (embedding existing tools like YouTube/Google hangouts); live chat during streaming, forum before and after science café sessions; mailing list system

8 What the SciCafe2.0 consortium offers Customizable Virtual Platform and technical assistance with manual Integrate and Manage Knowledge about Scenarios, User Profiles and Experts Databases; Specific Functionalities addressed by User Communities and Stakeholders. Acquire and Manage the Knowledge built and shared in SciCafe2.0 Tool arising from the debates conducted; Set Up an Experts Database. Elaborate Scenarios and Evolve how-to s.

18 H ICT : Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation Collective awareness pilots for bottom-up participatory innovation paradigms: compact multidisciplinary experiments; grounded on recent developments in open data, open source, distributed social networking and open hardware; pioneer crowdsourcing/crowdfunding solutions and new mechanisms for social innovation; industry, academia and also local communities, grassroots activists, hackers, social entrepreneurs, students, citizens, creative industries and civil society organisations. Multidisciplinary research on collective awareness platforms (Internet Science): hindering and facilitating factors, motivations and incentives to harvest wisdom of the crowds Digital Social Platforms: transposition of existing or emerging participative and inclusive societal solutions to larger transnational scales (c.f. EIP) Coordinating pilots and research activities in CAPs
