Citizen science on trial

The Supreme Court of the Ecsite Conference will decide whether citizen science projects are still allowed to be operated or should be sent to jail on life sentence. Join our esteemed solicitors and a group of mystery witnesses who will provide evidence to inform the Jury whether citizen science is what many claim nowadays (lazy science) or whether it is a robust engagement model and here to stay. Is it a fashion long gone like the poncho in the 1970s ? Or is it relevant as ever and meant to take the lead in our activities in the coming years? Come to the court to participate as jury member and use your analytical skills to work on the case.

The prosecutor will present her case against citizen science projects. What if citizen science projects contribute nothing to science? are citizen science projects an excuse for researchers to do the job with very cheap labour? are ordinary citizens taking the jobs of real scientists? listen to the prosecutor building a case about why citizen science projects should be sent to jail.
