Communication in citizen science
This manual guides you through the building of a communication plan for your citizen science project. The document includes tactics, tools and handy tips to ensure initial participation and continued engagement of citizen scientists.
This guide was written by the working group Communication and Participation, composed of Annelies Duerinckx, Scivil coordinator; Carina Veeckman and Sarah Talboom, researchers at SMIT-VUB; Liesbeth Gijsel, editor at EOS and coördinator of Iedereen Wetenschapper; and Hilde Devoghel, editor, moderator and communication specialist at Tales and Talks.

What’s more, Iedereen Wetenschapper can help you set up communication channels, such as a newsletter or a Facebook page, and you can publish an advert in EOS magazine.
