Setting up your own research project
More about the project 🔗
- Established a Citizen Science Action Group composed of academics and community members, so that our community networks have a much greater say as to the direction of research at Garden Organic
- Ran a series of interactive training workshops to build capacity within the group
- Developed resources that others can use to help them develop science projects in their community
- Set up our first co-created experiment to run in 2023
What a fantastic opportunity to be involved in your research activities!
The project gave me a good ‘under the bonnet’ view of how citizen science can work, especially how organisers must balance enthusiastic ideas against practical considerations in order to produce valid scientific data.

Looking to develop your own research project? 🔗
We're keen to support individuals and communities with the appropriate resources to develop their own research projects.
Throughout our project, we hosted workshops to help train communities in the skills required for running basic science projects. You can watch some of the workshops by clicking the links below.
