Course content
|
Students will learn the key principles of citizen science, experience the roles of both participant and coordinator in a citizen science project, and acquire the skills needed to design their own research based on these principles. The course covers topics such as participant motivation, public involvement in long-term research, the role of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, data standardisation and interoperability, and the relationship between citizen science, policy, and society. Emphasis is placed on the application of citizen science methods across various fields of geography and sustainable development, as well as on the ability to critically evaluate collected data. The course develops both practical and theoretical skills and prepares students to design and implement their own projects in line with the principles of citizen science.
