<p>The importance of HEIs in supporting and promoting open science is highlighted in several EU policies. Among them, the 2017 Report of the Working Group on Education and Skills under Open Science emphasizes the need to shape HE students/next generation researchers as “open science citizens”. More precisely: “The European Research Area (ERA) should work in closer collaboration with the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) (...), enabling the next generations of researchers to evolve as Open Science citizens (...) New generations of scientists and researchers, as the driving force for innovation and economic growth, are of vital importance to Europe's future competitiveness and leadership” (p. 16).</p><p>Our study problematizes on the role of HEIs as incubators of the next generation open science citizens (in terms of HE staff and student skills, curricula and interdisciplinarity), including a niche of cross-disciplinary humanities and natural sciences applied cases, where institutions situated in a broader social context leverage citizens in knowledge creation processes through professional-amateur (pro-am) collaborations, and in decision making in diverse populations as urban, Indigenous or special needs communities (active citizenship, civic engagement, citizen science). </p><p>The study, initiated by the European project CitizenHeritage ("Citizen Science Practices in Cultural Heritage: towards a Sustainable Model in Higher Education", https://www.citizenheritage.eu/ ) presents the analysis resulting from a desktop research and a survey on practices conducted between November 2020 and January 2021. The presentation focuses on a number of registered practices that bridge scientific disciplines in the areas of earth and life sciences, history of science and cultural heritage, producing a substantial, evidence-based review of multimethod research practices of Higher Education engagement in citizen enhanced open science.</p>

AbstractThere is a broad set of human beliefs, attitudes and behaviours around the issue of magical animals, referring to both mythical animals not recognized by science and extant animals that are recognized by science but have magical properties. This is a broad issue ranging from spiritual beliefs around mythical animals living in Malagasy forests, to cultural heritage associated with the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. Beliefs and behaviours around magical animals can have positive and negative impacts on biodiversity conservation goals. Yet, so far, the discipline of conservation biology has not adequately considered magical animals, neglecting to account for the broader knowledge from outside the natural sciences on this issue, and taking a narrow, utilitarian approach to how magical animals should be managed, without necessarily considering the broader impacts on conservation goals or ethics. Here we explore how magical animals can influence conservation goals, how conservation biology and practice has thought about magical animals, and some of the limitations of current approaches, particularly the failure to consider magical animals as part of wider systems of belief and culture. We argue that magical animals and their implications for conservation merit wider consideration.

Cirebon is an area that has rich culture, including culinary. Science education or at school is known as the Natural Sciences (IPA), is expected to integrate the cultural heritage of culinary in Cirebon without compromising the activity of science process containaed in it. The process of science in learning the concept of food and nutrition at schools can be done by observing Cirebon local foods available in the students’ neighborhood. The Nutrient content of Cirebon local foods such as sega jamblang, empal gentong, sega lengko, tahu gejrot, and kerupuk melarat is very useful to our health. In addition, Cirebon local foods are made from various materials and can be consumed by everyone. Science education based on Cirebon local culinary food also performed as one step instill a sense of pride to the students to love the environment and cultural heritage of Cirebon local culinary food that is tasty and contains good nutrients for our health.Keywords: sience education, science process, nutrients, Cirebon local culinary food

The growing divide between sciences and humanities has led, in the last decades, to their global weakening, leading to a pragmatic empire of technological solutions deprived from meaning and global reasoning. In parallel, the source o many current disruptive processes is the incapacity of understanding the implications of the global merger of economies and societies, but also the trend towards segregating new identities and cultural networks. We consider that education and training are key elements in the process of building shared landscapes, i.e., shared convergent perceptions of the territories, and that education in prehistory and archaeology should be structured within this framework. Reflecting on general concerns and perspectives of Humanities education at large, and on specific constraints in Europe and Portugal, we argue that the specific relevance of archaeology within a programme for humanities concerns its expertise in assessing adaptation mechanisms, economy-environment balances, techniques and technology, as well as its interdisciplinary approach, going beyond humanities and involving social and natural sciences. The text concludes by presenting the structure and strategy of the Master programme in Prehistoric Archaeology and Rock Art, as part of a wider programme of archaeology and cultural heritage education at the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar.

AbstractThe catalogue of the invertebrate collection donated by Prof. Dr. Ion Cantacuzino represents the first detailed description of this historical act. The early years of Prof. Dr. Ion Cantacuzino’s career are dedicated to natural sciences, collecting and drawing of marine invertebrates followed by experimental studies. The present paper represents gathered data from Grigore Antipa 1931 inventory, also from the original handwritten labels. The specimens were classified by current nomenclature. The present donation comprises 70 species of Protozoa, Porifera, Coelenterata, Mollusca, Annelida, Bryozoa, Sipuncula, Arthropoda, Chaetognatha, Echinodermata, Tunicata and Chordata.. The specimens were collected from the North West of the Mediterranean Sea (Villefranche–sur–Mer) and in 1899 were donated to the Museum of Natural History from Bucharest. The original catalogue of the donation was lost and along other 27 specimens. This contribution represents an homage to Professor’s Dr. Cantacuzino generosity and withal restoring this donation to its proper position on cultural heritage hallway.
