Preparatory actions for the citizen engagement activities are taking in place during these months in Emilia-Romagna. Through several rounds of meetings with researchers involved in the two projects at the center of the experimentations in Emilia-Romagna, a plan has been elaborated for both pilots to ensure that citizen engagement processes results can bring an added value at the scientific outcomes of the projects. After a careful consideration of constraints in terms of time and needs in the project unfolding, a preliminary plan for both projects has been drafted by Bassetti Foundation ETS, in charge of the implementation of the process, and thoroughly discussed with ART-ER and the project representatives to be finalized in the next few weeks.
