As part of the Scotland Counts project, The Conservation Volunteers are conducting some research to investigate if accreditation in Citizen Science would add value and benefit your organisations, learners, community groups and the recording community in general. In addition, this may develop a new route for new Citizen Scientists to become involved in wildlife recording activities.
If the Citizen Science activities can be rewarded with an accredited certificate it may add value to the activity of data collection, providing an opportunity for Citizen Scientists to demonstrate achievement and gain recognition for activity and progress.
The Conservation Volunteers would like to capture your thoughts and opinions to find out if Citizen Science needs accreditation to make it more valuable.
It would be appreciated if you could complete the survey, ‘Citizen Science and Accreditation’ by Thursday 18th February.
