Citizen science & sustainable development

After the recent international meetings taking place in the citizen science field, EU-Citizen.Science focused its newsletter on a topic that kept on popping up: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

 

With the help of April Tash from UNESCO, we investigated further their origin, their structure and the connection they can have with science.

Then, Rosy Mondardini, Managing Director of ETH/UZH Citizen Science Center, shared with us her reflection on the different roles that citizen science can play in the SDGs.

 

You will also find news from 10 ongoing projects: ACTION, CitieS-Health, CoAct, CS Track, D-NOSES, EnviroCitizen, MICS, REINFORCE and WeCount.

EU-Citizen.Science

Citizen Science is a rapidly expanding and diversifying field of innovation with significant implications for, and potential benefits to, society, policy, and various academic research areas. The ambition of EU-Citizen.Science is to build, fill, and promote a sustainable platform and mutual learning space for providing different tools, best practice examples and relevant scientific outcomes that are collected, curated, and made accessible to different stakeholders, ranging from interested citizens over scientific institutions up to politicians and public media in order to mainstream Citizen Science in Europe.
