The document discusses Barcelona Laboratori (BCNLab), a platform created by the Culture Institute of Barcelona to promote connections between people and communities through ideas and creative projects related to technology, science, knowledge and culture in Barcelona. BCNLab supports various citizen science projects and labs in Barcelona and aims to promote participatory scientific research practices. It encourages collaboration between projects to multiply their impact, share resources, and generate a common protocol for citizen science experiments with government support. The goal is to establish a large shared base of committed citizens and open data repository that can influence policy and decision making.

Pop-‐Up-‐Experiment
(PUE)
is
a
physical,
light,
highly
adaptable,
parUcipatory
and
public
experimental
set-‐up
for
urban
contexts
that
(1) applies
CS
pracUces
and
ideals
to
provide
ground-‐breaking
knowledge
and
(2) transforms
the
experiment
into
a
valuable,
socially
responsible,
consented
and
transparent
experience.
