Citizen science refers to activities conducted by scientists in collaboration or consultation with the public at any stage of a research project. By sharing lessons learnt and best practices within and across scientific domains, the following challenges faced by both scientists and citizens will be addressed:

  • Participation and motivation
  • Strategies for engagement
  • Quality and impact.
