Co-production of knowledge

Co-production of knowledge is a relatively new aspect of science literacy. It is characterised by a co-creation of knowledge through cooperation of scientific experts and non-experts. One well-known example is Citizen Science. This type of coproduction has been defined as ‘research collaborations between scientists and volunteers, particularly (…) to expand opportunities for scientific data collection and to provide access to scientific information for community members’. Other types of co-production include open-innovation, crowd science, or user-driven innovation.
