Science Policy and public engagement: Science Shops

Body: 

Another facet to the public engagement/science in society/citizen science complex of activities - science shops, which have apparently been around since the 1970s with an international network. The idea seems to be to develop an interface at which the public can request/participate in/engage with research with a research provider such as a university. ScienceWise ERC provides news on a new EU injection of funds. Interesting network of collaborators in the new PREPARES project.
