The European Union Prize for Citizen Science honors initiatives that promote exchange between science and the general public and contribute to an inclusive society through collaborative research approaches. Submissions are open until March 10, 2025.
Citizen science means that committed laypeople become actively involved in scientific projects and help shape the research process. In dialog with scientists, they develop research questions, collect data, report observations, and interpret surveys. The goal is to collaborate on scientific projects for the benefit of all.
The European Union Prize for Citizen Science recognizes initiatives that use research, innovation, engagement and creativity for the benefit of our society and is implemented as part of the IMPETUS project. Ars Electronica in Linz has been commissioned to run the competition.
The European Union Prize for Citizen Science – Grand Prize, worth €60,000, and two awards, each worth €20,000, will be awarded among all submissions.
