Status von Citizen Science in der Schweiz
Titel: " Citizen Science in der Schweiz: Kontextanalyse, Empfehlungen und Roadmap"
Leitung und Koordination: Science et Cité / Schweiz forscht - Tiina Stämpfli & Jeanne Six
Mitarbeit: Swiss Citizen Science Expert Group, Citizen Science Netzwerk Schweiz forscht
Produkte: Kontextanalyse (Status quo), Empfehlungen und Massnahmen (Roadmap).
Im Rahmen der Initiative Citizen Science der Akademien Schweiz 2021-24 (ICSA+) mandatierte der Vorstand a+ Science et Cité mit der Erstellung einer Roadmap basierend auf eine Übersicht zum Status Quo der Citizen Science in der Schweiz. Ziel ist es, vorhandene Grundlagen, die Bedürfnisse, Lücken und Potenziale der Schweizer Citizen Science Community und von Citizen Science in der Schweiz zu identifizieren. Das Projekt " Citizen Science in der Schweiz: Kontextanalyse, Empfehlungen und Roadmap" startet im Januar 2022 und wird von Science et Cité geleitet, begleitet von einer eigens dafür eingerichteten "Swiss Expert Group for Citizen Science". Das Schweizer Citizen Science Netzwerk Schweiz forscht wird ebenfalls in diesen Prozess einbezogen.
Berichte und Informationen über den gesamten Prozess werden an dieser Stelle regelmässig veröffentlicht (auf Englisch).
Eine Beschreibung des Projekts und der Rolle der Expertengruppe finden Sie hier (auf Englisch).

The project makes it possible to approach Citizen Science on a national level for the first time and I find it important and exciting to value different experiences, expertise and expectations and to learn together in order to further develop the landscape.

The concepts of Citizen Science can help science become truly transformative – actively engaging in and catalyzing societal change. To leverage this potential, we need to reflect critically on strengths and challenges associated with the different forms of Citizen Science – this is what we will do in this project for the context of Switzerland.

The cooperation of citizen scientists and scientists is a win-win situation. In urban ecology, more data can be collected, also in areas that are not accessible to scientists. In return, citizen scientists receive information about their environment and contribute to science. Together, scientists and volunteers work to raise awareness of urban ecology issues and promote urban nature.

Citizen Science in Switzerland has many different faces and facettes. It is important to see this diversity as a strength, not as a weakness. The project does exactly that: Value different experiences and expertise, put them in relation to each other and strengthen them altogether.

Citizen science is an important issue for the democratization of research for universities and society. It is one of the ways to better respond to the needs of social actors to participate in the production of knowledge, and to contribute to the orientation of scientific work.

Citizen Science is an increasingly important complement to basic research. It has the potential to improve openness for new issues and research methods. In addition, the stronger connection between scientists and citizens ensures a better consideration of current relevant societal problems.

In this era of profound transformations, I believe Citizen Science can significantly help the global effort toward a more sustainable world. Switzerland is in a unique position to trailblaze meaningful public engagement, and radically democratize science both inside and outside academia.

Citizen science allows us to acquire new knowledge and to develop concrete solutions that are rooted in the reality of the people concerned and that meet real needs.

Giving society the opportunity to contribute to science is key to raising awareness of how science works and building trusting relationships. It also helps science to include non-certified expertise that is so important for addressing complex societal challenges.
