Citizen Science opens up innovative spaces for museums to research and learn together. The involvement of volunteers and the development of new forms of mediation and research are just a few examples of the many possibilities that museums can open up through Citizen Science.
The Swiss Museums Association (VMS) has published a brochure on Citizen Science as part of its publication series "Norms and Standards - Recommendations of the VMS". This brochure offers a comprehensive insight into the basic concepts and methods of Citizen Science. The publication not only provides theoretical foundations, but also provides practical tools for implementing citizen science projects in museums.
