Abstract

Campaigns in Citizen Science (CS) experiments are co-production processes where a wide range of diverse stakeholders must be coordinated to achieve a common societal or environmental purpose, i.e., generate evidence for the validation of a hypothesis. This work describes a Collaborative Environment (CE) to aid the co-design and co-delivery of CS campaigns.
