The Living Knowledge Network is an important partner for the CIRCLET project. The network is composed of persons active in -or supportive of- Science Shops and Community Based Research. Living Knowledge aims to foster public engagement with, and participation in, all levels of the research and innovation process.
The Living Knowledge website contains, amongst others, a toolbox. This toolbox “will empower new Science Shops and people working in community based research in developing professional standards and enable existing Science Shops to refine and improve their practice through professional know-how.”
