*The Wilson Center Presents a Roundtable in Open Innovation and Science:*
New Visions for Citizen Science 

The Commons Lab within the Science and Technology Innovation Program at the 
Wilson Center, in collaboration with TechChange and the Wilson Center's 
Environmental Change and Security Program and Africa Program, invite you to 
join a conversation on open innovation and citizen science: What 
technologies support public participation in scientific research? How can 
projects ensure high-quality data collection and analysis, and support 
meaningful engagement with volunteers? How can federal agencies build 
partnerships to leverage these new approaches? What are the impacts to 
science, management, and policy, and how do we measure success?

*Wednesday, November 20 from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM*
