Citizen science en open science
In deze collectie vind je onderzoeken die gaan over de rol en uitwerking van citizen science, of burgerwetenschap, in de context van open wetenschap. Samenwerken met inwoners van een stad, land of regio is een belangrijker peiler voor het bedrijven van open wetenschap, maar gaat nog niet altijd even goed.

Citizen Science: handbooks, tools & methodology
Citizen Science, but how? In this collection you will find handbooks and tools if you want to get started with Citizen Science!
Citizen science is a form of scientific research in which members of the public actively participate in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. This can range from counting birds in the backyard to analyzing complex datasets using online tools. Citizen science enables larger amounts of data to be collected and analyzed, and allows research to be conducted on topics for which there may not otherwise be sufficient resources. -

Examples of citizen science projects
Every citizen of Amsterdam can contribute to science! See below in which ways citizens can help doing research.
As a citizen scientist you can help collect data in many projects, but you can also contribute experiential knowledge. There is some counting down in gardens: birds, frogs, plants, and so on. You can also do all kinds of things behind the computer: analyze (satellite) images for archaeological research or play a game to help medicine advance. Even a household chore such as doing laundry can be part of a study on microplastics. In this collection we collect examples of citizen science projects.
There is of course much more happening outside our city in the field of Citizen Science. These projects are also collected here.Do you want to know more about Citizen Science? In this collection you will find handbooks and tools to get started with Citizen Science.

Living Labs
Social issues are very much alive in the city. That is why researchers and students work together in so-called Living Labs.
Living Labs are experiments that aren't carried out in a closed laboratory, but inside the city. For example in neighbourhoods or residential complexes, together with residents, companies, municipal agencies and reserachers. Together, they try to find a solution or an improvement to the situation.
