In 2016, the Citizen Science Strategy for Germany
2020 has led to the
publication of a GreenPaper.
“This Green Paper Citizen Science Strategy 2020 for
Germany presents the understanding, the requirements and the potential of
Citizen Science in Germany. It reflects on the multiple benefits of Citizen
Science for different sectors of society and on options and opportunities to
develop the methodology and approach. “
The next initiative Citizen
Science Strategy 2030, initiated 1.5 years ago, builds on this publication and
a WG White Paper was funded as a
bottom-up network by various organisations in April 2020.
The visions and options
for action formulated by the citizen science community in the Green Paper were
critically reviewed and used to formulate current and concrete recommendations
for action on how citizen science should develop in Germany by 2030.
The process involved more than 150 people from 115 different organisations such as scientific institutions, professional societies, associations and federations, foundations and individuals.
All citizens are now invited
to comment on the resulting White Paper in an open participatory process: https://www.citizen-science-weissbuch.de
