Description

This resource explains Citizen Science as a flexible concept which can be adapted and applied within diverse situations and disciplines.

The content was developed by the ‘Sharing best practice and building capacity’ working group of the European Citizen Science Association, led by the Natural History Museum London with input from many members of the Association, to set out some of the key principles which as a community underlie good practice in citizen science.
