"Involving citizens in research projects, can enable not only to generate new knowledge but to create trust for the scientific approach."
Scientific outreach is part of our interaction that environmental scientist maintain with users outside the scientific community.
Scientific information in the form of storymaps and other information-rich products epitomize pollution science through digital maps, materials and webinars ("Infotainment"). Media products are provided that include outreach activities produced in-house or with television and radio partners ("Media"). Citizen Science projects highlight activities undertaken by researchers in close collaboration with society to support data generation and improve the quality of the data by learning from local and indigenous knowledge ("Citizen Science").
