    Welcome to Citizen Science Zurich

    Citizen Science Zurich is a center at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Zurich and is supported by the Mercator Foundation Switzerland. We strive for an open, diverse and inclusive science, where research is done with the public and for the public. Therefore, we want to inspire and support people to engage in different forms of participatory research.

How can we help you?
