The Israel Center for citizen science

The Israel Center for Citizen Science at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History was established in early 2022, to support public participation in environmental research and promote participatory biodiversity science and conservation in Israel. The center fosters sustainable technological, scientific, and social facets, to forge stronger foundations for citizen science in Israel, and aims to serve as a source of knowledge and support for citizen science programs, nationally.

The center was founded upon values of inclusion, openness and mutual respect. It provides support to scientists and grassroot organizations alike and promotes knowledge, enjoyment and inspiration from nature.
