How does moving Public Engagement with Research Online Change Audience Diversity? Comparing Inclusion Indicators for 2019 & 2020 European Researchers' Night events
<p>Taking place annually in more than 400 cities, European Researchers’ Night is a pan- European synchronized event that aims to bring researchers closer to the public. In this paper audience profiles are compared from events in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, face-to-face events reached an estimated 1.6 million attendees, while in 2020, events shifted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reached an estimated 2.3 million attendees. Focusing on social inclusion metrics, survey data is analyzed across two national contexts (Ireland and Malta) in 2019 (n=656) and 2020 (n=506). The results from this exploratory, descriptive study shed light on how moving public engagement with research online shifted audience profiles. Based on prior research about the digital divide in access and use of online media, hypotheses were proposed that online European Researchers’ Night events would attract audiences with higher educational attainment levels and greater self-reported, subjective economic well-being. While changes were observed from 2019 to 2020, results for each hypothesis show a mixed picture. The first hypothesis was upheld for the highest education levels but failed for the lowest levels suggesting that the pivot to online events simultaneously attracted participants with no formal education and those with postgraduate qualifications, while attracting less of those with undergraduate or lower levels of education. The second hypothesis was not upheld, with online European Researchers’ Night events attracting audiences with slightly higher levels of economic well-being compared to face-to-face events. The findings of this study indicate that European Researchers’ Night events present a clear opportunity to measure the effects of the digital divide in relation to public engagement with research across Europe.</p>

Data Matrix Theme-Specific Analysis of the Recommendation on Science and Scientific Researchers (RSSR): Public and Stakeholder Engagement
<p>This Table sets out findings from the mapping exercise conducted as part of the objectives of subtask 6.1 of the RRING project.</p> <p>Aim: Alignment of RRI to advance the UN SDGs.</p> <p>Objectives:</p> <ul> <li>Mapping the RSSR to the SDGs </li> </ul> <p>Mapping the RSSR to the SDGs is aimed at providing new perspectives, ideas and approaches that can help to improve the operationalization and implementation of each SDG, <em>by facilitating the integration of RRI (or RRI-like) practices in the SDGs, to make them more achievable.</em> The impact of the new perspectives, ideas and approaches in SDG operationalization and implementation will be aimed at the level of <em>national and international policy (making); future research and innovation projects (in industry and academia); as well as education and training of researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders.</em></p> <p>Two documents were used for this task:</p> <ul> <li>2017 Recommendation on Science and Scientific Researchers ([RSSR], UNESCO), and</li> <li>the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).</li> </ul>
You Don't Say! Emma Dorris on Public Engagement and How Discussions with the Public Improve Research
<p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong></p> <p>This week we talk to Dr Emma Dorris, a molecular researchers and Initiative Lead for The Patient Voice in Arthritis Research, about the benefits of public engagement for health and life sciences research. She outlines the challenges of involving the public in research, the benefits for scientists and society, and practical steps for researchers to take. </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://people.ucd.ie/emma.dorris">Emma Dorris</a> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/ERDorris">Twitter</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://www.ox.ac.uk/research/public-engagement">Information about Public Engagement</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.orion-openscience.eu/news/201909/what-do-public-think-about-genome-editing">ORION Public Dialogues</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Episode Quote: </strong></p> <p>"They are fascinated by what is going on behind the scenes, they really want to know what's happening and what's in the pipeline. and they tend to be far more supportive of it and far more supportive of high risk research than people in academia are". </p>
The Great British Liverwort Hunt – collecting wild accessions for molecular biology research while engaging the public
<p>During the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic, outreach activities of universities were significantly perturbed. The Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) outreach project for the Cambridge festival in 2021 was therefore a fully online project, which asked people from across the mainland of the United Kingdom to send in plant samples of <i>Marchantia polymorpha</i>, and <i>Lunularia cruciata. </i>The samples were, upon arrival, established into axenic culture for use in research. Here, we deposit the names and locational data of the lines established in axenic culture for the wider use of the research community. Out of 76 samples received, 68 were successfully established in sterile tissue culture. This dataset also includes an analysis of the sex of the <i>M. polymorpha</i> accessions.</p>

Data from: Early Firm Engagement, Government Research Funding, and the Privatization of Public Knowledge
<p>This is a demo and partial dataset of a full dataset of paper- patent pair from chinese chemical scholars. The full dataset covers the published English papers and the paired patents by some of the scholars of the chemical and pharmaceutical field who received the Distinguished Young Scholars of the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) during 2009–2018. Data related to the papers are obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and WoS; data related to the scholars are obtained from the NSFC website, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MSTC) website, and the scholars' home pages; and data related to the patents are obtained from the CNIPA website. The dataset also covers the data on the average number of patent infringement cases at the prefecture level from China Judgements Online (CJO) using crawlers and text mining techniques to reflect the degree of local intellectual property protection (IPR). Besides the paper information, the dataset also contains the corresponding scholars' funding information and the paired patents<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a> information gathered through “patent–paper pairs.”</p> <p>This demo datasets covers about 1/15 samples of the full datast. The detail variable explanation will be found in the "label" and "Notes" column after every variable name in the DTA data file. As a series of related papers are published, we will gradually publish the full data set.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="#_ftnref1">[1]</a> A small number of papers may be paired with multiple patents. We deal with the situation of multiple paired patents when constructing variables. See “Variable” section of original paper for detailed illustrations. </p>
