Citizen science,
what's that ?
Bird lovers, stargazers and programmers – many citizens are hobby researchers in a large variety of disciplines. They collect, measure, fotograph, map and code because they are inquisitive and intrinsically motivated. Some of them become recognized experts.
Citizen science takes these scientists on board for scientific research projects. The citizens participate in single research tasks such as contributing to data collection and monitoring or in the development of code. In some cases they are even involved in the complete process of the project.
One of the first projects conducted this way was the Christmas Bird Count in 1900. All over the United States of America people participated to assess the population of birds. Another successful example is the project “Galaxy Zoo”, in which thousands of volunteers participated to classify galaxies.
These examples show the potential of a cooperation between scientists and citizens. Also for FULFILL we need you!
