The information and views set out in this report are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official opinion of the European Union. Neither the European Union institutions and bodies nor any person acting on their behalf may be held responsible for the use which may be made of the information contained therein. ___ The CoAct (Co-designing Citizen Social Science for Collective Action) project proposes to face social global issues by placing citizens in a vulnerable situation at the centre of the research. This approach represents a new understanding of Citizen Social Science (CSS), as participatory research co-designed with citizen groups sharing a social concern. One of the social issues targeted is Mental Health Care (R&I Action #1, WP3) and this report corresponds to Deliverable D3.1 Report on Knowledge Coalition building. The research background of this R&I Action has been constructed based of the different but complementary experiences of the two main CoAct partners involved. While the OpenSystems research group (Universitat de Barcelona) has built a research methodology based on Citizen Social Science and citizen's participation, Federació Salut Mental Catalunya has decades of experience in community mental health care activism and cooperative projects, situating the individuals withan experience of mental health and their families at the centre of this process. Based on these complementary experiences, the research has been oriented to mental health social support networks, referring to people's social environment, which is generated informally, not professionally. The report describes the different step of the Knowledge Coalition building, formed by representatives of public administrations, civil society organisations and co-researchers, acting in representation of their institutions. After a detailed mapping of the local, national and international institutions, a ...

This approach represents a new understanding of Citizen Social Science (CSS), as participatory research co-designed with citizen groups sharing a social concern. Along these lines, there exists an important need to provide spaces for academic researchers not only to increase their knowledge and their skills but also to learn about new methods to develop a citizen science that enhances social dimension. Covid situation has obliged to run the school in an online format. The online format has motivated the choice to organise a rather long school (two weeks duration, 9 school days) and to have a daily concentrated routine scheduled during the afternoon. Considering positive aspects related to the COVID situation, the online format has allowed to have a wider diversity of participants and a larger number of participants (39) that were initially anticipated. Participants were coming from 20 different countries. Despite their own difficulties with internet access, we also had participants from Africa and South America. Broadly, 25% of the applicants are MSc students while 50% are pursuing their PhD (66% of early career researchers). Research areas of participants include public health, sociology, biomedicine, political sciences, architecture, law… In addition, following the experimental spirit of any research project, it has also been the intention of the school to provide the broadest perspective ...

This presentation describes the work done in the frame of the CoAct (Co-designing Citizen Social Science for Collective Action) project from January 2020 until June 2021. The presentation was done by CoAct Partners during Project Review number one, in an online meeting attended by the Project Officer and the Project Reviewer (June, 15th 2021).

Neither the European Union institutions and bodies nor any person acting on their behalf may be held responsible for the use which may be made of the information contained therein. CoAct proposes a new approach to face social global concerns with Research and Innovation Actions (R&I Actions) related to mental health care, youth employment, environmental justice and gender equality by engaging citizens as co-researchers. Our approach represents a new understanding of Citizen Social Science (CSS), understood here as participatory research co-designed and directly driven by citizen groups sharing a social concern. The overall objective of CoAct is to develop and demonstrate the scientific relevance and social impact of CSS, which is to date an underexplored area of Citizen Science (CS). This document constitutes Deliverable 2.1 'Report on State of the Art of Citizen Social Science' of Work Package 2 (WP2), which is dedicated to the CSS foundations. It provides a starting point towards a common framework and a common arena to better elaborate the various characteristics of CSS. CoAct wants to contribute to the debate by catalysing the discussion and enlarging the CSS community. This effort is unprecedented in the CS and the Social Science worlds and it is expected to later result into new open materials (for citizens, policy makers, NGOs and academics) and new transdisciplinary methodologies to widen the impact of CS. This report discusses CSS as a component of CS, with its main characteristics that citizens act as co-researchers conducting research on social issues with the aim of achieving transformative and sustainable impact with the research. CSS is however emerging from at three streams: from the broader spectrum of a CS community; from a participatory research background in the social sciences and humanities and moreover directly from Citizen ...
