Citizen Science

Citizen science is gaining more and more recognition as an open science research methodology that not only allows researchers access to large-scale collection of data, assists in identifying societally relevant areas of research, but also addresses the question of inclusion and bias in science. However, as a methodology it requires a lot of resource investment, not least of which are skills not typically associated with research cycle, time and the need for support services. The overall goal of the citizen science project within the Open Science Programme is, therefore, to improve support for TU Delft researchers in setting up and implementing citizen science projects.
