About

The idea for SPOTTERON was born during a hiking trip after we discovered wild littering in an otherwise pristine forest. The devastating sight set our brain cells in motion and, four years and thousands of hours of passionate work, a platform for Citizen Science has emerged.

Running your own Citizen Science project on the SPOTTERON platform is easy. First, we provide a free quotation based on a project's description or a Skype call at first hand, which summarizes all the costs, including updates and support for your Citizen Science apps. After your decision, we work in collaboration with your research project to create the app's data structure and necessary assets like a project logo, icons, app store media, and others.

In our Citizen Science design studio in Vienna, Austria, we work to create the most advanced Citizen Science platform for providing reliable and high-quality tools in a mobile world. Coming from various backgrounds, our team not only designs and develops Citizen Science applications but also provides support and works together closely with the projects during their whole runtime.

Trusted by partners from universities and institutions across Europe and other continents, the core of SPOTTERON is a growing network of scientists, experts and stakeholders, running their Citizen Science projects and CitSci websites on the SPOTTERON platform.

On this page, you can find publications from projects running on the SPOTTERON platform. They are based on data collected through SPOTTERON as a tool for data collection as well as more overreaching studies where the Citizen Science Apps running on the SPOTTERON platform are mentioned.

By fostering data quality through design and community interaction, SPOTTERON provides a reliable platform for running Citizen Science projects. A flexible system with licences supporting both data ownership or

Cooperations for Horizon Europe - building the future of Citizen Science together. #HorizonEU

The Horizon Europe programme by the European Union is the key funding programme for EU research and innovation projects. Citizen Science and public involvement have always been a vital aspect of Horizon - both in the predecessor Horizon 2020 and now in Horizon Europe.
