Citizen Science
The CHARM-EU Alliance is leading citizen science training initiatives across European universities. These initiatives aim to engage the public in scientific research by incorporating the perspectives and firsthand knowledge of diverse communities, fostering collaboration between scientists and citizens, and addressing societal challenges with transdisciplinary research.
Find here resources and training courses to enable you to contribute to meaningful scientific discoveries and innovations.

TRAINING INITIATIVES
The University of Barcelona (UB) undertook an institutional pilot of Citizen Science training in 2023, within the context of TORCH, the project to develop the R&I agenda in CHARM-EU, to address the training gap for scientists engaging in citizen science.
UB developed an institutional website focused on Citizen Science. This webpage compiles several citizen science projects conducted at UB. Six infographics were also prepared to explain the steps to create a citizen science project.
You can read more about the institutional pilot and the 2023 training in the following article.
