Upscaling Citizen Science
As part of the BOKU project "Unsere Mission: Gesunde Böden und Gewässer" (“Our Mission: Healthy Soils and Waters”), a BOKU citizen science project related to the EU Missions “A Soil Deal for Europe” and/or “Restore our Ocean and Waters” is being funded. The goal is to expand an existing small-scale citizen science project from the local to the regional level, or to open a conventional project to the general public.
By scaling up a citizen science project, a larger segment of the population can be introduced to the goals of the EU’s Mission Soil and Mission Water and actively involved in the research process.
