Our goal is to provide comprehensive support and high-quality resources to citizen science projects throughout their entire life cycle, from the initial conception of the idea to the evaluation of impacts.

In addition, we offer a wide range of capacity building services to strengthen the skills of all stakeholders involved in citizen science, promoting effective collaboration and competence development at all levels.

The resources of Ibercivis are accessible through a continuous and competitive open call, aimed at promoting open research.

The proposals submitted are evaluated by an Access Committee, composed of internationally renowned scientists.

Evaluations are based on criteria of scientific excellence, such as potential scientific and social impact, transparency, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Infrastructures, applications, and citizen science communities

Ibercivis offers a series of its own and external scientific infrastructures, which include open-access tools such as OpenStreetMap and BOINC, facilitating projects with high computational demands and a large data scale.

Furthermore, it offers self-developed applications such as Geonity, where the community can develop its own citizen science projects, and communities like Servet, which has facilitated the launch of citizen science projects related to aeronautics, attracting thousands of people.

These initiatives are designed to foster the participation of citizen science projects in any interested community.
