This report presents the 2020 status of the development of the MICS platform for measuring impact and the development of impact assessment indicators. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824711.

The MICS platform prototype for period 1 presents the first incarnation of the MICS system and its user interfaces. It is intended to be a demonstration of the technology required to produce a stable platform, and a first consideration of some of the usability issues and potential design solutions. It will form the basis for an iterative design process running up to D3.5 (the period 2 prototype), which will more fully involve the assessment methodologies derived in WP2, and respond to the validation activities of WP4. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 82471

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to explore the role and contribution of new information communication technologies in the emerging field of knowledge management (KM). There is much confusion in the literature, and in organizations, as to what role technology has within the field of KM. This quandary has led to the danger that organizations could spend large amounts of time, money and other resources on inappropriate technology in support of their KM efforts. The paper presents the classification of KM technology tools under the headings of collaboration, content management and business intelligence. This paper also seeks to clarify how KM technologies have been applied in organizations in recent years. Overall, the paper presents an overview of current literature and practical technological adoption and application in the KM field. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractContinual development in the field of Knowledge Management (KM) has led to a number of critical factors being highlighted in the literature. These issues include the macro‐environment, organizational climate, technological, informational, cultural and people factors. Understanding of these issues is currently limited by a paucity of systematic empirical research addressing the relationship between the cultural and technological aspects of Knowledge Management. This paper describes the development of a conceptual model for Knowledge Management implementation, which is based on a university/industry partnership and a successful PhD study. Moreover, the paper covers theory‐testing and refinement of the model using large survey empirical analysis. It is concluded that the model can be used across a wide spectrum of organizations to show how cultural and technological aspects of Knowledge Management can be systematically integrated into organizations.

This report describes the updated communication strategy of MICS one year into the project. The strategy, originally outlined in deliverable 5.8, is made of two parts: (1) a regular, quarterly newsletter which informs about news, events and recent publications; (2) posts and updates on various social-media channels, aimed at reaching out to a wider public and getting them interested in the project and its results. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 82471

This deliverable provides a description of the site and set up of citizen science activities in the Italian case study where the MICS impact assessment will be applied. The Italian case study focuses on the Marzenego River and its tributaries which flow into the Venice Lagoon. The nature-based solutions (NBS) along the Marzenego River have involved restoring two wetlands (Oasi Lycaena and Oasi di Noale) and a new NBS project aims to enlarge the Noale Oasis to increase flood water retention and improve biodiversity. These NBS are the focus of the citizen scientist monitoring activities in the case study. Co-design workshops have identified that the following citizen science monitoring activities will take place: water quality monitoring, bacteriological analysis, riparian vegetation monitoring, aquatic vegetation monitoring. ; This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824711.

Abstract Over the past decade, citizen science has experienced growth and popularity as a scientific practice and as a new form of stakeholder engagement and public participation in science or in the generation of new knowledge. One of the key requirements for realising the potential of citizen science is evidence and demonstration of its impact and value. Yet the actual changes resulting from citizen science interventions are often assumed, ignored or speculated about. Based on a systematic review of 77 publications, combined with empirical insights from 10 past and ongoing projects in the field of citizen science, this paper presents guidelines for a consolidated Citizen Science Impact Assessment framework to help overcome the dispersion of approaches in assessing citizen science impacts; this comprehensive framework enhances the ease and consistency with which impacts can be captured, as well as the comparability of evolving results across projects. Our review is framed according to five distinct, yet interlinked, impact domains (society, economy, environment, science and technology, and governance). Existing citizen science impact assessment approaches provide assessment guidelines unevenly across the five impact domains, and with only a small number providing concrete indicator-level conceptualisations. The analysis of the results generates a number of salient insights which we combine in a set of guiding principles for a consolidated impact assessment framework for citizen science initiatives. These guiding principles pertain to the purpose of citizen science impact assessments, the conceptualisation of data collection methods and information sources, the distinction between relative versus absolute impact, the comparison of impact assessment results across citizen science projects, and the incremental refinement of the organising framework over time.
