The Escalator Model of Participation Sample Clauses

The Escalator Model of Participation. At the most intense level of engagement in DIY science, it is estimated that about 2,000 people participate in DIY science in the area of biology; and several hundred are active in DIY science using the Public Laboratory of Open Technology and Science tools. In contrast, in the UK alone, there are over 40,000 people involved in ornithological surveys. Over 150,000 Europeans have contributed their unused computer resources to IBM World Community Grid to support scientific computations, and more than a million people have participated in the online Zooniverse project. Yet, the best estimate of the number of Europeans involved in citizen science is not more than 2 million. Considering that access to the internet is being actively increased and that over a quarter of the EU population hold an advanced degree, there is great potential for increased participation in citizen science. The challenge is in reaching the 30% of Europeans who are not online as well as those not engaged through education by linking and strengthening existing hubs to support face-to-face and offline outreach, which is something that DITOs will do via various outreach activities and events that directly will engage the public such the DITOs travelling exhibitions, which will visit carefully targeted areas to achieve this aim. The DITOs ‘escalator’ will be used throughout the duration of this project to inform our CDE strategy in order to ensure that not only we achieve our expected public outreach but also that through careful evaluation we monitor how people move towards more active forms of participation.
