New Call for proposals
Call for Applications: TOP CITIZEN SCIENCE
From December 15th, 2015 until February 29th, 2016 ongoing Sparkling Science projects are invited to submit extension projects which provide for the participation of citizens to gain additional scientific findings within the new financial support initiative “TOP CITIZEN SCIENCE”, which is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW) and the OeAD.
The purpose of the funding initiative is to promote the involvement of citizens in research projects. In this initiative, citizens should be encouraged to contribute to generating research results and insights on the basis of their expertise, curiosity and willingness to participate – without sacrificing the excellence of the research
work.
On this page and on the pages of the FWF, the BMWFW and the Centre for Citizen Science you find the collected application documents.
