Topic 2 - Data-based solutions for sustainable agriculture
We are seeking collaboration to offer our specialized expertise in co-creation methodologies and multiactor- and user-centric approaches, using the Quadruple Helix Model, to deliver practical, adoption-ready solutions.
We can support projects for Policy-making (Topic 3) and sustainable agriculute (Topic 2). We ensure that data-driven tools yield reliable indicators and facilitate policy uptake by connecting scientific output directly to administrative needs, addressing the call's simplification ambitions. We also specialize in enhancing trust and user acceptance. We apply our co-creation and communication skills to achieve high human operator engagement, linking complex technical outputs to local and traditional knowledge for greater farm-level adoption and usability.
Moreover, our deep experience in Citizen Science fosters broader societal involvement and acceptance in research. We leverage this to design rigorous protocols for testing and validating proposed technologies and models with wider audiences, significantly increasing the scale, relevance, and policy impact of the consortium's outcomes. We ensure all proposed Use Cases address concrete, validated real-world tasks centered on stakeholder and end-user needs.
Science For Change is a knowledge-based social enterprise and a leading organization in co-creation, participatory strategies, and citizen science in Spain, dedicated to advancing evidence-informed public policies.
Our team addresses social, environmental, and health challenges with a mission to facilitate collaborative research between diverse agents to co-design solutions and ensure a positive social impact. We have extensive experience working in major European and regional projects in the agri-food sector (e.g., SPOON, CERBERUS, FORPEAT), while also supporting public administrations in the co-design of actions and policies using user-centered design approaches.
Our experience portfolio covers: Public Policies, Science Communication, Sustainability, Circular Economy, and Health. We are experts in implementing Citizen Science to drive democratization of knowledge, and we have been expert contributors to the EU’s Mutual Learning Exercise on Citizen Science Initiatives.
