“…It can be considered informal occasions for general publicor a specific target group (e.g., high school students, university students, stakeholders of a sector)to meet scientist, like researchers and experts, and to discuss scientific topics as-well-as ongoing and future projects. These forums are usually external of the academic environments and are appreciated by horizontality and recognition of knowledge and practices, multiple representativeness, and facility of interaction between panelists and audience (França et al 2016). As emphasized by Dijkstra (2017), scientific cafés can have an influence in breaking down barriers to citizen participation as citizens increased their beliefs that they are able to participate meaningfully in techno-scientific issues.…”

In recent decades, the social demand for the involvement of civil society in decision-making processes on environmental issues has been growing worldwide. Among the techniques for involving civil society, the Scientific Cafés are new and flexible tools aimed at ensuring effective communication between scientists, practitioners, civil society, and decision-makers on scientific topics in an informal and inclusive way. From 2004 to today, the Scientific Cafés are increasingly spreading in several scientific fields including forestry. The aim of this article is to analyze the state-of-the-art of Scientific Cafés at an international level and to propose a novel procedure for organizing Scientific Cafés to be adopted in the forestry sector. The literature review show that the first publication on "science cafés" dates back to 2004, while 73 peer-reviewed articles have been published to date (on average just under four articles per year). These publications consider the Scientific Cafés in four senses: science education; science communication; public engagement; and cultural investigation of science. The present study describes the approach followed in a public engagement activity carried out in the framework of ForestValue2 (Horizon Europe project). The approach is developed in five
