Over the next years, we plan to set up a Citizen Science Lab in Jena aimed at scientifically interested children and adults. The Lab will provide a working environment for the implementation of project ideas and will bring together interested citizens and researchers. Our goal is to strengthen the idea of Citizen Science and make it more visible. Existing local, regional and national initiatives in the fields of Citizen Science, education and promotion of young people will be involved in this effort and shall be strengthened by it.
