Why Citizen Science?

The unique contribution of Citizen Scientists is essential in elaborating socially diverse topics, such as participation possibilities of refugees. The background of unique realities of life is contributing in a crucial manner to closing the research gap of what is needed for adequately addressing political and civic participation needs for refugees in Austria. The Citizen Scientists will be involved in every step of the research design, which equips them with useful knowledge about science, and gives us a unique perspective on the topic. Building bridges through common scientific effort is as valuable as it is needed to enhance the horizons of every single one involved.
