Citizen science portals enable scientists to introduce their work and find people who would like to help them achieve their research goals. The volunteers, on the other hand, can explore ways to kick-start their career in citizen science and find projects they are interested in joining. The portals can be international or local, supported by the state or funded by different institutions like universities or NGO-s. Many projects today are focused on natural sciences but there are options in the humanities as well. All platforms let volunteers work conveniently at their own pace and provide fantastic support and materials to make the research process simple and smooth.

We have brought out some of the well-known portals that are great examples of an active community and project abundance. Browse the projects and study the platforms’ functions and possibilities to get involved.
