Outline We present the ci1zen science projects we have been running during the past 3 years. We have adopted the idea of running collec)ve experiments in public spaces of Barcelona to create crowd-‐sourced data aTaining to concrete ques)ons. We have been focussed on non-‐permanent or pop-‐up experiments on 1. human mobility through voluntary tracking. In a park (Science Fes)val) and in an
exhibi)on room (museum). 2. human decision making through games, as a complementary approach through
three different games (Board Game Fes)val in Barcelona). Such data sources have allowed us to develop some stochas1c models on human behaviour under concrete situa)ons or circumstances. We cri)cally analyse them and extract experience-‐based conclusions from both a methodological and conceptual perspec)ve.

Pop-‐up Experiments along ci1zen science framework
• Collec)ve Experimenta)on sharing publicly the risk with all par)cipants.
• Volunteers should be first users of the scien)fic knowledge being produced.
• Natural experiments in real-‐world. An alterna)ve to virtual labs and to byassed popula)ons in social experiment.
• Clear defini)on of the ques)on to respond. Appealing concept: Par)cipants are curious.
• Time and space frames controlled since it is a one-‐shot experiment. • Light infraestructure easy to adapt to several contexts. Always
expect the uncertain. • Quick and flexible configura)on of teams (but large and complex to
manage).

“The contribu)on of the field of science and technology studies (STS) to main-‐stream sociology [and economics and finance] has so far been slim because of a misunderstanding about what it means to provide a social explana)on […].” Bruno Latour, Bri&sh Journal of Sociology Vol. No. 51 Issue No. 1 (January/March 2000) pp. 107–123
![Page 30: Collective experimentation on human behaviour using citizen science practices](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021814/589d8be11a28abfb088b6195/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“The social sciences imitate the natural sciences in a way that render them unable to profit from the type of objec1vity found in the fit from the type of objec1vity found in the natural sciences.” “It is argued that by following the STS lead, social sciences may start to imitate the natural sciences in a very different fashion.” “Once the meanings of ‘social’ and of ‘science’ are recon figured, the defini)on of what a ‘social figured, the defini)on of what a ‘social fini)on of what a ‘social science’ is and what it can do [can be thus reconsidered].” Bruno Latour, Bri&sh Journal of Sociology Vol. No. 51 Issue No. 1 (January 2000) pp. 107–123
