About
In 2022, VUB launched the Citizen Science Contact Point to promote and support civil science participation at the university. In November of the same year, VUB launched a project call for citizen science projects, funding the SMARTS project and the MOMENT-GPS project.
More specifically, the CSCP’s main goals are:
- To raise awareness about (the possibilities of) citizen science and to promote a culture in which citizen science is considered as a fully-fledged research method
- To stimulate both the quality and quantity of funded VUB research projects applying a citizen science approach
To reach these goals, the CSCP provides peer learning and networking opportunities; training, tools and info materials; and project support to the research community at our university.
