This edition focuses on research done with and alongside communities\, and how working side-by-side streng thens both science and societal trust. Each CHARM ON features a moderated panel with voices from across our university community (educators\, resea rchers\, students\, and support staff) sharing concrete experiences that b ring CHARM-EU’s approaches to life (for instance\, on challenge-based le arning\, mobility\, interculturality\, or responsible research and innovat ion). Together\, they connect principles to practice\, point to good examp les in our Service Portfolio\, and signpost trainings and follow-up opport unities offered by the Alliance. This month\, our panel turns to Citizen Science in Action. Practitioners —Anna Sànchez\, Isabelle Bonhoure and Josep Perelló (UB)\, Roger Strand (UiB)\, László Róbert Zsiros (ELTE) — will reflect on the principles\, affordances\, and values of doing res earch with communities\, foregrounding its social dimensions: social commi tment\, collaboration\, communication\, learning (formal and informal)\, a nd evidence-based action. Through grounded examples from their own project s\, they’ll explore ethical\, methodological\, and practical challenges\ , while sharing how they mobilise local partners and co-design participati on. Rather than a one-size-fits-all recipe\, the session offers starting p oints to ideate\, design\, contribute to\, or lead just transparent projec ts and collaborations that connect academic rigour with societal needs. Th e event will be facilitated by Nicolas De Keyser (HRW) and Alex Arenas (UM ).  Date: Monday\, 24 November   Time: 13:00–14:00 CET Format: Onlin e panel discussion (live stream + sound recording available afterwards) Jo in here: Teams Privacy notice: Please find the privacy notice here.This ev ent is open to all CHARM-EU members and anyone beyond who is curious to le arn. No registration required.CHARM ON will take place on the last Monday of each month at 13:00 CET\, offering a regular space to share ideas\, pra ctices\, and impact stories across the CHARM-EU community.Coming up for Ph D studentsRegistrations open for CHARM-EU Winter School 2026: ‘Citizen S cience in Action: Skills\, Tools\, and Community Engagement for Early-Care er Researchers’ (4–6 February 2026\, University of Barcelona). Over th ree intensive days\, you’ll workshop real ideas\, test participatory met hods\, and leave with a mentored project prototype and a CHARM-EU peer net work to keep momentum. Find out more: https://charm-eu.eu/learning/educat ional-offer/charm-eu-winter-school-2026/  \n \n Dr. Isabelle Bonh oure \n \n \n Prof. Josep Perelló \n \n \n Dr. Anna Sànchez \n \n \n Prof. Roger Strand \n \n \n Dr. Lász ló Róbert Zsiros \n \n \n Dr. I sabelle Bonhoure is a researcher and coordinator at OpenSystems (Universit y of Barcelona)\, which she joined in 2013 after completing a PhD in Mater ials Science (Université Paris XI\, 2000) and an MS in Scientific Communi cation (Pompeu Fabra University\, 2005). She also teaches at UB’s Facult y of Information and Audiovisual Media and at the CHARM-EU Master’s in G lobal Challenges for Sustainability. Her work focuses on Citizen Social S cience\, participatory research co-designed and directly driven by citizen groups that share a social concern. She is especially interested in co-cr eation with communities in situations of vulnerability\, examining how top -level research can align with actions for social transformation. In this approach\, citizens act as co-researchers (recognised as competent\, in-th e-field experts) throughout the process\, from design to interpretation an d into concrete change. Current research lines include mental health socia l support networks\, urban sustainability challenges\, climate vulnerabili ties and the conceptualisation of CS alliance with GLAMs (Galleries\, Libr aries\, Archives and Museums).  \n Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Barcelona. In 2012\, he created OpenSy stems\, a research group that conceives scientific research based on citiz en participation and artistic practices that fall under the broad label of Social Citizen Science. Its main objective is to analyse human behaviour in urban contexts through the sciences of complexity and within the field of computational social science. With the aim of collectively responding t o specific social concerns\, OpenSystems has conducted more than 15 public experiments with more than 2\,500 participants. He has been the coordinat or of the Barcelona Citizens’\; Office (until 2018\, and founder in 2 013)\, an initiative of the Barcelona City Council that works as a communi ty of practice for a large number of citizen science projects and implemen ts specific programs in civic centres\, primary and secondary schools.  \n \n Associate Professor since 2017 at the Department of Earth and Ocean Dynamics\, University of Barcel ona. Her research focuses on understanding the impact of dense water overf lows on particle transport\, making use of tools including in-situ observa tions from research vessels\, underwater vehicles\, satellite data\, and o cean models. She is leading a research line that incorporates citizen scie nce to study plastic pollution in the coastal area (http://www.surfingfors cience.org/). This long-term project (since 2018) has represented a paradi gm shift in microplastic research\, allowing to fill the gap in knowledge of the coastal area\, and actively involving citizens in the generation of new scientific data. The resulting open datasets have shed light on the m agnitude of plastic pollution\, providing robust evidence to inform policy and management strategies\, particularly in relation to pellet spills\, w et wipes\, and artificial turf.  \n \ n Professor at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Hu manities (SVT)\, University of Bergen\, and Director of the European Centr e for Governance in Complexity. His work examines how scientific uncertain ty and complexity shape decision-making across environmental policy and go vernance\, medical decisions and public health\, and technological develop ment. He draws on post-normal science\, complexity theory\, and post-empir icist philosophy of science. He is also a member of SVT’s interdisciplin ary Research Group Theory of Science.  \n \n Science communication expert and data scientist. With an M Sc and PhD in Horticultural Sciences (plant molecular biology) and additio nal training in law\, he blends rigorous research with creative storytelli ng. He performs shows at science festivals across Europe and trains STEM p rofessionals in clear\, engaging communication (e.g.\, in science centres\ , FameLab\, SCIndikator). Academically\, his current interests span canine bioacoustics and brain imaging. As a generalist maker and problem-solver\ , he designs and manages projects and helps tech teams turn complex ideas into messages that land.
