Citizen Science Networks

In addition to numerous national networks, such as the Citizen Science Network Switzerland or Bürger schaffen Wissen in Germany, there are also national associations. Since December 2017, the citizen science network Citizen Science Global Partnership (CSGP) not only promotes the exchange between science and society, but primarily pursues the goal of networking already existing citizen science networks on a global level. Since October 2022 the official seat is located in Vienna.

For the European area, the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) was founded in 2013. It is currently located at the Natural History Museum in Berlin. Only a short time later, in 2014, the Citizen Science Association (CSA) was founded. The citizen science network Red Iberoamericana de Ciencia Participativa - RICAP is growing and counts numerous countries from Central and South America among its members. In Australia, the Australian Citizen Science Association is a central contact point for researchers and interested parties. If you look at the Asian region, you come across the citizen science network CitizenScience.Asia. In Africa, the CitSci Africa Association is in the making.
