The template below is a tool to help you identify potential partners and interested parties for Citizen Science projects.
If you would like to discuss your ideas on this, you are welcome to contact us. We can offer advice, but not practical help. Please contact Thomas Kaarsted thk@bib.sdu.dk or mobile phone 6011 2623.
If you are a researcher and consider using Citizen Science as a method, it may be important for you to consider relevant partners who represent groups of citizens, the civil society, authorities, or sectors, which will have an interest in contributing to or participating in Citizen Science.
Such partners need an incentive, and these may have many different characters. At SDU, we have worked with and collected data in dialogue with NGOs (which looked for knowledge created in common), schools and high schools (which wanted to participate in research-based teaching), private companies (which wanted to investigate sustainable recycling and business models), etc.
As a starting point for identifying potential partners, the Knowledge Center uses this model, which can be understood as a stakeholder analysis.
