We launch your Citizen Science apps and interactive maps, provide regular updates and build new innovative features for Citizen Science projects.

Since 2014, we are providing services for science projects and institutions with a strong focus on design, technical professionality and reliablity. Trusted by universities, institutions and stakeholders across Europe and beyond, we are creating custom online solutions for science and Citizen Science applications.

Our main field of work is the SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform, which enables Citizen Science projects to run customly built smartphone apps and interactive web-apps on a common framework, which allows us to always maintain and update all apps and software tools.

The SPOTTERON Citizen Science platform is also constantly extended with new features for scientists and citizens alike. This "Extension Ecosystem" is available for all Citizen Science projects on the platform without additional costs and enables a single project to have a wide range of advanced tools ready for their Citizen Scientists from the beginning.

We also build high quality websites, portals and online games for science projects, conferences or science-related organisations, often with interactive components like surveys, forms and forums, participation tools and other. Furthermore, we are also experienced in creating media like graphical designs, social media content or even video clips.

Our long term experience in design and webtechnologies comes together with our focus on innovation to create advanced solutions, which not only work well but also are able to impress and immerse - which is especially important in the area of Citizen Science, which builds on user participation and long-term motivation.

A CITIZEN SCIENCE DESIGN AGENCY

We see ourselves not only just as service providers but also as a design agency with a strong connection to the project partners. Our team is always available to support and help out on call if e.g. the need for new media teasers for an upcoming newspaper article arises or if there is something to advise on.

As part of our mission, we see it as our responsibility to have the tools and websites of a project running hassle-free for the project teams. We take care that everything runs smoothly and adopts to fast changing technologies in a a mobile world.

Are you interested in running your science tools on the SPOTTERON platform? Let's get in contact and talk about what we can do for your specific requirements.

Horizon Europe Citizen Science App

With the COSEA App, Citizen Scientists can observe marine environments, document coastal habitats or species, and report on pollution, infrastructure and the blue economy. Their contributions on the map and activity in the app will help scientists better understand the impacts and drivers of marine factors to protect and foster a healthy relationship between humans and seas.

NatureSpots is a non-commercial and free project to discover nature together. In the app, nature photos and sightings of animals, plants or mushrooms can be shared with the community on the map. The app is a new initiative for observing nature and taking part is very simple and straightforward. The app is free of advertising, does not track users and takes digital privacy seriously.

SPOTTERON

The new citizen participation uses "Citizen Science" in their hometown and nationwide to get User's feedback on places. As a result, citizens are empowered to become active in a city worth living in to collect and share data themselves and to interact with scientists. This enables them to recognize the consequences of sealing, heat, water shortages, and a lack of biodiversity, and generally, how places in their own environment affect us all.

Horizon 2020 Invasive Species Monitoring App

The IPM-Popillia Horizon 2020 project aims to address the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe's agriculture and food safety: the invasion of the Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica. This invasive species was introduced accidentally to mainland Europe in 2014 and can quickly spread by transportation and trade. As a species with a wide range of feeding plants, P. japonica threatens the entire agricultural sector, urban landscapes, and biodiversity in invaded areas.

Environmental Community Engagement App

Fridays for Future see itself as a horizontal, grassroots grassroots movement that acts apolitically and refers to science for the facts. To engage the global population more, this app was developed using SPOTTERON. The aim is to find out how the population perceives the climate crisis and which positive and negative emotions are associated with specific topics related to biodiversity and climate crisis.
