Policy Makers. DITOs aims that citizen science should gain understanding and support at the policy level, and that policy makers should be aware of the opportunities and risks of citizen science and their own ability to promote or hinder citizen science. It is planned that policy makers should be brought face to face with citizen scientists through Discovery Trips, policy discussions and round tables. Policy makers (and other participants) will be provided with guidance on the provision and design of activities that reflect local needs, aspirations and conditions, likely providing them with good relationships with local people who can work with them and provide them with a great deal more data they can work with. Finally, DITOs will provide policy guidelines, reports and various materials and media to present policy analysis and the impact of citizen science, as well as RRI policies.

Policy Makers. The workshop on user requirements for policy makers was held in Malta. As already mentioned before, local Maltese cultural heritage professionals and policy makers were present at the workshop and were eager to voice their opinions and give out their recommendations to improve our research. Below are some of the key points that were raised in the discussion that took place on the second day of the workshop:  Real accessibility needs to be available, not a theoretical one. The findings and results need to be shared with the community, with which a connection needs to be built and maintained.  When presenting the data, or connecting to the general public, one must not be too technical, specific, or academically snobbish since this might repel the people one is trying to connect with.  A key factor to remember is that cultural heritage belongs to the people – the job of cultural heritage institutions is to protect the embodiment of our culture and present it back to the people.  An issue that arose with great enthusiasm during the workshop was the element of FUN. Fun has the capability to make an activity a good experience which would help increase the popularity and would encourage people to take part in it and to disseminate it.  Getting the commitment from the government in the aid of these institutions would also be a plus.  For any endeavor making use of citizen science to succeed, three key factors need to be connected: 1. Research 2. Institution 3. Citizens  Artifacts or data which embody a community’s cultural heritage need to be equally accessible to everyone. No curators or directors should deem themselves the exclusive owners of such a collection.  Citizens should never be considered as a subject in the research, or as a source. Their role should be that of an active participant in the research. Amongst these and other comments that were voiced during the discussion, multiple people shared one common thought; that they were all eager to see the results of the Civic Epistemologies project. A discussion on the technological infrastructure took place during the workshop, throughout which these issues were brought up:  A basic framework needs to be developed which can then be adapted and reworked depending on the nature of the citizen science project that is being undertaken. This needs to be produced as a software or application.  Constant support for the software needs to be available to whoever is using it.  A serious issue that arose was...
