- Empowering Citizen Science Through Stakeholder EngagementPublication . Correia, Vítor; Romão, José; Tyrologou, Pavlos; Gomes, Rui Carrilho; Correia, Vítor; Bodó, BalazsABSTRACT: The chapter examines how citizen science projects, particularly in geohazard monitoring, can be strengthened through systematic stakeholder engagement. Using the AGEO project as a case study, with five established Citizen Observatories across Europe, it details how stakeholders were identified, classified, and engaged across political, economic, knowledge and socio-cultural systems. The paper identifies five crucial factors for successful engagement: relevance, accessibility, trust, recognition/incentives, and sustainability. It concludes that citizen science, supported by technological advances and proper stakeholder engagement, can make significant contributions to disaster preparedness and risk reduction, particularly in the context of climate change, by fostering collaboration between experts and communities.
- Ciencia ciudadana en el análisis de peligros geológicos en el Área Atlántica [Resumo]Publication . Montoya-Montes, Isabel; Galindo, Inés; Sanchez, Nieves; Jaud, Marion; Le Dantec, Nicolas; Pinto, Cláudia; Ferreira, M. A.; Parker, Kieran; Lemon, Kirstin; Rodrigues, Domingos; Quental, Lídia; Ramalho, Elsa; Gonçalves, Pedro; Cruz-Pérez, N.; Ortega, A.; Holohan, Eoghan; Correia, Vítor; Jeremias, Filipe Telmo; Gomes, Rui CarrilhoRESUMEN: La participación ciudadana constituye la piedra angular común de los cinco Observatorios piloto de peligros geológicos (movimientos en masa, terremotos, inundaciones fluviales y costeras, riesgos geotécnicos y erosión costera) implementados en cuatro países del Área Atlántica en el marco del proyecto AGEO INTERREG, con varias iniciativas de divulgación llevadas a cabo para mejorar la concienciación de los ciudadanos sobre los peligros geológicos. En este contexto, el logro notable de AGEO reside en el desarrollo de herramientas estandarizadas capaces de satisfacer las numerosas necesidades de estos pilotos, de modo que tanto los ciudadanos como los colaboradores expertos tengan acceso a canales de comunicación que les permitan informar sobre la ocurrencia de eventos de peligros geológicos. Además, la utilización de productos y servicios de emergencia del programa europeo Copernicus asume un papel importante en el establecimiento y funcionamiento de los Observatorios. Debido a su adaptabilidad en todo el variado espectro de pilotos de AGEO, estas herramientas prometen una integración perfecta en posibles futuros observatorios ciudadanos de riesgos geológicos y por tanto una contribución a la mejora de los sistemas de gestión de riesgos.
- From geology to criticality: understanding raw material supply constraints [Resumo]Publication . de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Hollis, Julie; Carvalho, Jorge; Wittenberg, Antje; Correia, VítorABSTRACT: Critical and strategic raw materials (CRM/SRM) have become central to the energy transition, digitalisation, and defence, elevating mineral supply to a strategic concern for Europe. While supply vulnerabilities are often framed in geopolitical or economic terms, this contribution emphasises that geology constitutes the fundamental and least flexible constraint underpinning mineral criticality. The uneven global distribution of CRM results in persistent spatial concentration of supply and structural dependencies that cannot be rapidly resolved through policy or market mechanisms. Many CRM occur predominantly as companion or by-product elements, linking their availability to the production of major host metals and decoupling supply from direct demand signals. This intrinsic rigidity limits the effectiveness of short-term mitigation measures such as market substitution and highlights the long lead times required to bring new mineral resources into production. As a result, mineral criticality should be understood as a structural and enduring condition of the energy transition rather than a temporary disruption. The European Union’s evolving raw materials strategy, culminating in the Critical Raw Materials Act, represents an ambitious attempt to address these vulnerabilities through domestic production targets, recycling, diversification, and strategic partnerships. However, implementation remains constrained by geological realities, declining discovery rates, complex mineral systems, social acceptance challenges, and extended permitting timelines. These factors underscore the need for realistic expectations aligned with geological timescales. In this context, geological knowledge infrastructure emerges as a strategic asset. Geological Survey Organisations play a pivotal role in reducing mineral criticality by generating, integrating, and disseminating unbiased, pre-competitive geoscientific data. By operating at the early stages of the exploration–development continuum, they absorb geological risk unattractive to private investment and provide the foundation for robust mineral intelligence, exploration targeting, and evidence-based policy making. Strengthening coordination among geological surveys and sustaining long-term investment in geological data are therefore essential for enhancing Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy in critical and strategic raw materials.
