Citizen Science as scientific method ...
- What have we learned from the three pilot projects within the Citizen Science Initiative of our Faculty?
- Easily acquired data with social impact or data without scientific relevance: What are the chances for citizen science? And which obstacles and pitfalls should be kept in mind?
- How critical – and how time consuming – is community management for citizen science projects?
- And, last but not least: Are there funding possibilities?
Discuss these and other questions with researchers and experts of our Faculty, the Natural History Museum Vienna and the Service Unit Research Services and join us for a get-together with roasted chestnuts & mulled wine!
