Global 2000

GLOBAL 2000 is an Austrian environmental organisation. It was founded in 1982 in Vienna and consists of the associations "GLOBAL 2000 Umweltschutzorganisation" (environmental organisation) and "GLOBAL 2000 Umweltforschungsinstitut (UFI)" (environmental research institute founded in 1991). The organisation claims to work independently and critically for a green, sustainable and healthy environment. Since 1998 it also is member of the worldwide environmental protection network Friends of the Earth and thereby a sister organisation of BUND(Germany) and Pro Natura (Switzerland).

The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, or simply BOKU (derived from its German name, Universität für Bodenkultur Wien, founded in 1872, is an education and research center for renewable resources in Vienna, Austria. BOKU combines fundamental and applied expertise in the fields of natural sciences, engineering and biotechnology as well as social and economic sciences to enhance the knowledge basis for sustainable management of natural resources. It is a member of the leading Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) university network. There are currently around 12,500 students from over 100 countries enrolled at BOKU.
Citizen Science has a long tradition at BOKU. In addition to individual projects from a wide range of disciplines, BOKU also includes research areas in which citizen participation has always been part of the research concept.
Therefore, it was a logical step for BOKU to support the platform "Österreich forscht" and the Citizen Science Network Austria, which aims to promote this type of research across all institutions.

Article 13

Let`s fight for Citizen Science! Article 13 of the EU copyright law draft endangers all web-based CitSci projects, learn here in our Blog how to take action.

Last week, the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) ignored all advice by data scientists, creators and experts and voted for the Article 13 of the proposed Copyright Directive. This could mean the end of web-based Citizen Science.
