The University of Münster has many years of experience with a wide variety of citizen science projects: in diverse, sometimes unconventional research collaborations, with different types and innovative formats of participation, with apps and paper, in the field and in the archive and always in a co-creative approach that benefits all sides.

True to the motto "Creating knowledge together", we invite all interested and curious people to join in the research: ask your questions and get to the bottom of the answers! Contribute your perspective, your knowledge and your expertise! Help shape research and the dialogue about it! Broaden your own horizons!

The same applies to the academic members of the university. You too are called upon to utilise and discover the Citizen Science research approach and its potential for your discipline and your topic. The Rectorate is convinced that the approach is possible and profitable for all departments at the University of Münster.

The following overview, which makes no claim to be exhaustive, presents current Citizen Science projects at the University of Münster. If you would like to participate in research or exchange experiences with colleagues, please contact the project managers.

We would also be delighted if the projects inspire you and stimulate your own ideas.
