Have you already heard about EU-Citizen.Science ? It is the online platform for sharing knowledge, resources, and training for Citizen Science in Europe. Via their API (application programming interface) we can share on this website the projects that are profiled on that platform as taking place in the Netherlands, or led by a Dutch organisation.

There are are already several Dutch CS projects on the platform – you can find them on this page in a list below but there are maaaany more great projects and initiatives in the Netherlands than this! So please create a profile for your project, because this platform can form a great basis for our own national CS platform in the Netherlands. It is easy to create your own project profile by following this link. Also in Dutch!
Tip: First make your (1) personal profile by signing up to the platform and loggin in, then open the “New Submission” button in the top right, and create (2) your organisation profile (if relevant), and then (3) your project(s) and (4) resources.
