The year of 2019 is the 20th anniversary for the Budapest declaration, which promised contribution of science to sustainability society. This year, G7 Academies Meeting discussed the topic of "citizen science" based on the fact that scientific data collection and analysis became more accessible for general citizens through the Internet along with the expansion of ICT and open science. In addition, those who have scientific background but do not work for a traditional laboratory also participate in the movement of DIY biology or large computer science projects through the Internet, e.g., seti@home. In the era of such development, citizen science could be a tool to reconstruct the relationship between citizen and science.
Recently in Japan, citizens are more integrated in research process, and scientists started discussing the potentials of co-creative research. As citizen science is expanding further to solve the social issues which citizens are more interested in, such as local environment or health, SDGs can be more innovatively pushed forward with the wisdom and power of citizens.
We will invite young scientists from G7 nations to Japan and broaden the discussion of "citizen science" to the potential contributions to SDGs. We will discuss commonalities and differences of the current situations and issues of citizen science among G7 nations, how young scientists should related to citizen science, and how citizen science could promote SDGs. At the same time, we will discuss how we could deepen or revise the related statement of the Budapest declaration in terms of the relationship between citizen and science.

2019年は、科学が持続可能性や社会への貢献を約束したブタペスト宣言の20周年である。その記念すべき年に、パリで開催されたG7アカデミー会合で、シチズンサイエンスが取り上げられた。ICTやオープンサイエンスの広がりに伴い、一般市民がインターネットを介したデータ収集や解析に参画したり、研究機関に所属しない研究者がDIYバイオやseti@homeといったムーブメントに参加している。こうした時代の流れの中で、シチズンサイエンスは市民と科学の関係性を再構築するツールであるとも捉えられる。
近年日本では市民がより深く研究プロセスに参加する共創研究に議論が発展しているが、より市民が関心の高い地域の環境や健康といった社会課題にシチズンサイエンスを展開できることで、市民と共にSDGsを革新的に促進することが期待できる。
今回初の試みとして日本にG7各国の若手科学者を集め、SDGsとの関連性を含めてシチズンサイエンスの議論を広げる。各国におけるシチズンサイエンスの現状と課題の共通点・相違点を認識するとともに、若手科学者としていかにしてシチズンサイエンスに関わるか、及びシチズンサイエンスがどのようにSDGsを促進しうるのかを議論する。同時に、20年が経過したブダペスト宣言を、市民と科学の関係性を中心として今後どのように改訂していくべきかを議論する。
