A research collaboration between LMU Munich, the Leibniz Institute for Psychology, TU Braunschweig, and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is currently conducting a Europe-wide study examining the relationship between participation in citizen science and trust in science.
The research team is looking for current and former citizen science volunteers who would be willing to share their experiences and perspectives through a brief online survey (approximately 10–15 minutes to complete).
Attention: Please note that only citizen science projects or volunteers involved in citizen science activities should open the link.
