The concept of science shops is a social innovation within science-community partnerships based on participatory research support in response to concerns experienced by civil society. Many science shops are based at higher education institutions (HEI) and facilitate cooperation between researchers, students and civil society as part of research and education. Other science shops are not-for-profit consultancies and associations organising research cooperation with civil society. The aim of the session is to discuss experiences with and strategies for science shops as concept for cooperation between HEI - and other types of public institutions - and civil society. Different concepts for science shops are presented and the possibilities for civil society empowerment through science shops are discussed. The session is relevant for HEI’s and other public institutions that have or want to set up a science shop and for civil society organisations that have or want to develop cooperation with public institutions.
