LifeWatch Italy Citizen Science Platform

The LifeWatch Italy Citizen Science platform is a place for sharing knowledge, tools, training material and other resources for participatory projects in biodiversity and ecosystem research. It is a platform that facilitates citizens involvement in scientific activities and it includes different sections to provide:

- basic knowledge on citizen science, on its potential and applications;

- best practices and tutorials on the development and management of citizen science projects;

- a catalogue of citizen science projects with an open-source webGIS for viewing initiatives on a map-based interface;

- a tool for creating mini-sites for citizen science projects;

- a customisable web application supporting citizen science activities related to the collection of geo-referenced observations;

- integration between various components and services of LifeWatch Italy.
