OIS Resources

Explore the resources developed or suggested by the OIS Center

Our resources are developed to support researchers to involve citizens and stakeholders in their research activities, with the aim to unfold the societal impact of science.

We offer a broad range of resources, from literature to learn more about OIS, to practical tools and guides to apply to your research project.

All our resources are free to use and share and all our publications are open access.

Contact us if you have questions or comments about our resources, or if you need support to involve stakeholders in your research, unfold its societal impact, or if you need a partner to implement collaborative practices in your project. Check out also our Support Services!
