Citizen science projects
There are many science projects that involve community participants as citizen scientists in Queensland.
We use the Australian Citizen Science Association definition: “citizen science involves public participation and collaboration in scientific research with the aim to increase scientific knowledge”.
You can read the Citizen science in Queensland: a review of the current landscape to gain some insights into the types and number of citizen science projects happening in Queensland.
