We are pleased to announce that the Geographic and Place-based Citizen Science Working Group was approved by the European Citizen Science Association (ECSA) and officially established in June 2025.
The Working Group brings together researchers, practitioners and community organisations interested in the geographic dimensions of citizen science. Together, we aim to strengthen the theoretical foundations of geographic and place-based citizen science, exchange experiences and inspiring case studies, develop practical guidance, and foster collaboration across disciplines and sectors.
We look forward to building a community around this emerging field and exploring how citizen science can contribute to more resilient places, communities and ecosystems. If you interested in joining the group, drop us a line at geocitizenscience[at]gmail.com.
