Geonity
A free platform for creating and taking part in citizen science projects
About the project
Geonity is a free citizen science platform from Fundación Ibercivis for researchers, organisations and communities. It lets you design data collection projects, gather real-world observations from any device and collaborate in six languages.
It is open to any person or organisation: research groups, universities, public authorities, associations, schools or local initiatives that want to launch a project, and volunteers who want to contribute observations. No programming skills are needed and it is free to use.
Project objectives
- Provide a shared environment so that very different groups can organise their data collection without having to build a custom tool each time.
- Make it easy to take part in the field, through the website and mobile apps.
- Protect participants with privacy and location controls.
The role of Ibercivis
Ibercivis has developed Geonity with its own funds, and maintains and improves it based on real-world use and feedback from the community. Projects such as Life-Nitrazens and Flood2Now use it for their measurement campaigns.
Our activities
- Works in three steps: create a project (topic, geographical area and form), contribute geolocated observations, and analyse and export the data as CSV.
- New version (May 2026): custom forms with text, numbers, photos or options; organisations and teams with roles; public or private projects with location blurring; interface in Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, French and German.
- Apps for Android and iOS.
