About the Conference
Citizen Science is a partnership between everyday people and professional scientists to investigate pressing questions about the world. Citizen Science 2015 invites anyone interested in such collaborations to participate.
Everyone involved in any aspects of citizen science is welcome, including researchers, project leaders, educators, evaluators, designers and makers, volunteers, and more–representing a wide variety of disciplines.
Join people from across the field of citizen science to discuss designing, implementing, sustaining, evaluating, and participating in projects. Share your project innovations and questions.
Whether this is your first conference or just your latest, we invite you to attend, be a presenter, or both! There will be many ways to share your insights and experiences:
