Citizen Science
[Status: Completed]
The term Citizen Science describes the involvement of the general public in the scientific process. UZH and ETHZ have established the external page Citizen Science Center Zurich. This joint initiative exists to enable researchers and citizens to collaborate to produce science, in particular that supports the external page 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.
Our research aims to support the activities of the Citizen Science Center Zurich in the area of standards and processes for ethical Citizen Science research.
