The ''Technology Availability and Digital Literacy'' policy brief examines how access to technology and digital skills are foundational for meaningful citizen engagement in science and democratic processes. It highlights that many citizen science and participatory initiatives rely on mobile devices and digital tools to collect, share, and interpret data, but these tools are only effective if people have both access and the confidence to use them. The brief argues that technology should not become a barrier to participation;rather, projects need to actively promote digital literacy and encourage the adoption of relevant technologies among participants. It points out that engagement should include not just the scientific topic at hand but also training and support that help people become familiar with digital tools and overcome reluctance or lack of experience. Enhancing digital literacy strengthens people’s ability to contribute meaningfully to citizen science activities and ensures broader, more inclusive participation.
