The German Research Award for Citizen Science is entering a new round. Publications can currently be submitted.

The Citizen Science platform mit:forschen (formerly Bürger schaffen Wissen) invites participatory researchers to nominate themselves or qualified colleagues for the "Wissen der Vielen - Research Prize for Citizen Science". We are looking for publications that illustrate the added value of participatory approaches in research in a special way.

An interdisciplinary jury honours scientists affiliated in Germany for outstanding achievements in the application of Citizen Science. The prize is endowed with a total of 35,000 euros and is awarded by Wissenschaft im Dialog and the Museum für Naturkunde. Individual authors can be nominated until 3 June 2024 to be honoured on behalf of the collective scientific work. The award ceremony will take place on 9 October 2024 in Hamburg as part of the Forum Citizen Science.
