Survey of Citizen Scientists

SpecimensBotanic Garden Meise

Have you ever contributed to a scientific project? If so, you might be a citizen scientist! Scivil, the Flemish Knowledge Centre for Citizen Science, would like to hear your views in a short survey taking about 15 minutes to complete. Through this survey, we are seeking answers to questions such as: What motivates you as a citizen scientist? In what ways do you contribute to scientific research, and what obstacles do you encounter in doing so?

 

We want to hear your views – please complete the survey here: Survey for citizen scientists
