ECSA represents a growing network of researchers, citizen scientists, SMEs, political and civil society organisations. As an association with the aim to promote citizen science across Europe via joint action and exchange amongst practitioners, we look forward to contribute to joint research and coordination projects.

Depending on the expertise and experience needed, ECSA can contribute to projects centrally through ECSA Headquarters as well as via our members.

For more information, please get in touch with ECSA Headquarters and ask for our Terms of Engagement.

We have established tailored Memoranda of Understanding with several partners and less formal agreements with others. Let us know what you would like to do together – we’re happy to learn what you have in mind and open for experiments!

> Please contact ECSA Headquarters

Come to ECSA Headquarters at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin for a short period of time (up to a month) to advise ECSA on a specific task or activity in your area of expertise while getting to know the association from the inside (open for guest researchers that can fund their stay and travel costs – we hope to be able to support this in the future). Or do an internship at ECSA to learn about the organisation and contribute to its activities. These options are open on request for specific profiles only and depending on available capacities at Headquarters. We're happy to provide more information.

Via our bi-monthly Newsletter we share news and current projects of ECSA and its members as well as general information on Citizen Science in Europe.
