Citizen Science Award 2024 was a great success
The Citizen Science Award 2024 was extremely successful: more than 2,900 Citizen Scientists supported the eight projects with over 46,000 research contributions during the co-research period from April 1 to July 31 and gained deep insights into the world of science and research! The Citizen Science Award 2025 would like to build on this success and once again offer committed citizen scientists a wide range of research projects to participate in.
Submission deadline for 2025 extended!
Current Citizen Science projects can currently apply to take part in 2025.

The aim is to offer the broadest possible range of research projects from different disciplines that enable different forms of engagement.The selected projects will be notified at the beginning of December 2024.
From April 1 to July 31, 2025, school classes, youth groups, families and all interested persons will once again be able to participate in the research projects selected. The most committed Citizen Scientists will be honored at a ceremony at the Young Science Congress in autumn 2025.
