The SciCafe2.0 platform for on-line support to science cafés #

 In this poster we summarize the results of the experiments on on-line support for science cafés conducted 
with the help of the The SciCafe2.0 Virtual Platform. The SciCafe2.0 consortium, funded under the 
Collective Awareness Platforms Objectives of the European Commission FP7 Research Programme, aims at 
supporting participative exchange and co-generation of knowledge, also using the science café paradigm.

The <a href="http://scicafe2-0.european-observatory-for-crowdsourcing.eu/" style="font-weight:bold;">SciCafe2.0 Virtual Platform</a> was 
designed aiming at reproducing the experience of discussing between peers in a science caf&eacute;. The present 
version is a first step towards this goal, and was used in a number of science caf&eacute; in Florence. The core 
of our instrument is the live streaming of the event using Google hangout, to which we added the 
possibility of intection among participants, storage and classification of material, online and offline 
discussion tools.
