Society and Culture

The RTI-Citizen-Science 2025 Call focuses on the comprehensive participation of citizen scientists in research projects and thus on the in-depth exchange between science and the general public.

Proposals for citizen science projects can be submitted for the field of action "Society and Culture" of the RTI Strategy Lower Austria 2027. 

The scientific need for the comprehensive participation of citizen scientists in the processing of the research topics has to be presented in the proposal in a comprehensible manner. The relevance of the Citizen Science approach for the project results from whether the research question could be answered without the participation of Citizen Scientists and from the explanation of which scientific findings can be gained through the participation of Citizen Scientists.
