Why we built the portal
Citizen Science is really important to the partners in Scotland’s Environment. It generates data which are used to make decisions, set priorities and debate issues, but just as importantly, it promotes citizen education, empowerment, health and wellbeing. By building this portal, we want to improve the support that is available to Citizen Science projects, especially in relation to gathering data, making it easy to view and understand, and easy to discuss.
What the portal does
The portal helps us to bring information on a variety of projects into one place, covering topics as diverse as weather, soils, air quality, water quality and protected species. We want to make it easier for participants to take part in projects, find a home for new projects they have created, see their contribution and discuss it with others. The portal also provides a place for us to try out new approaches towards data gathering and engagement, new tools and new resources.
Who is the portal for?
The portal currently brings together two main groups of people; volunteers who are already taking part in a Citizen Science project or are looking for a new project, and the organisers of Citizen Science projects in the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). By working with the partners in Scotland’s Environment, we aim to add more projects to the portal in the future.
