Experts, universities and local organisations
ARSC projects need different skills: research, technical expertise and knowledge of the local context. The contribution is agreed for each collaboration, according to the topic and the role taken on.
- Experts
- Individuals can work with ARSC as associate experts, by invitation, within the association’s thematic teams.
- Universities and professional organisations
- They can become ARSC members as legal entities and can contribute solutions and skills to projects and to the local centres proposed by ARSC.
- Local organisations
- They can point out the needs of the community and contribute to testing and evaluating solutions, in local projects that include these stages.
Community participation
People must be able to report a problem, understand what is being proposed and receive a response to their contribution. Consultation, testing and communicating the results are part of the project.
Contribute to solutions
Citizens contribute to identifying needs, testing solutions and evaluating services, in the projects that include these stages.
Follow the results
ARSC analyses, maps and reports are public. The weekly newsletter brings the relevant information together in a single edition.
People’s participation is part of the process: their contribution must receive a response. How to take part in a particular project is agreed with the public administration that coordinates it.
A concrete need. A possible project.
