Engagement action plans and campaign strategies for LandSense demonstration cases I

The LandSense Citizen Observatory (https://landsense.eu/) connects the domains of citizen science and Earth Observation to address critical issues in the field of Land use and Land Cover (LULC). As part of the observatory, several technologies are being developed and deployed across various themes and communities to illustrate the potential of citizen observatories to tackle environmental monitoring issues. A key success factor to the LandSense Citizen Observatory is to aggregate key end-users including research organizations, NGOs, SMEs, data providers, public bodies, and citizens to directly address local and regional LULC topics. The direct involvement of user communities in the LULC data collection process will generate relevant information and promote demand-driven policy responses that will hopefully rise horizontal ‘modes of governance’ (Wehn et al., 2015). As such, LandSense conducted an assessment of user requirements and barriers (D2.1) and this deliverable continues along this trajectory to further elaborate action plans, strategies and campaigns for citizen engagement across the demonstration pilots. Specifically, the deliverable summarizes activities undertaken within Task 2.2 and is organized based on each pilot
