#Citizen Science

Citizen science projects are carried out with the help of interested amateurs. The citizen scientists formulate research questions, report observations, carry out measurements, analyze data and/or write publications. Compliance with scientific criteria is a prerequisite. This not only enables new scientific projects and new findings, but also facilitates a dialog between science and society.
