Sed accumsan leo nunc, a pharetra metus facilisis nec. Morbi turpis erat, tincidunt eget magna ut, suscipit fermentum diam. Duis sit amet sem eu leo vestibulum dignissim eget nec orci. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Nullam congue scelerisque condimentum. In luctus nisl eget ullamcorper ultricies. Ut eget suscipit dolor. 

Reflexive Monitoring Process


Why


  • Explicitly integrate reflection in the implementation process
  • Giving practitioners insight into the progress of their project in real time

How


  • Rethink goals
  • Define roles
  • Record important events
  • Analyse critical turning points
  • Identify learning outcomes
  • Share findings
  • Reflect on the method
  • Promote P2P sharing
  • Dimensions
To get more relevant and better results in the implementation, reflexive monitoring should be applied to each project dimension: technical solution, governance, impact assessment, finance, promoting co-production, and reflexive monitoring itself.

What


  • Dimensions
    • Living knowledge co-creation
    • Analyzing co-creation processes and models
    • Social systems assessment
    • Community-based communication
  • Constantly fine-tuned
  • Compilation of citizen science results and resources coming from different WP

Learning Outcomes
