Citizen Science

The Environment Institute is proud to support a number of citizen science projects that engage with the public.

Citizen science is a great way for the public to be involved in research and to make a remarkable difference in collecting useful data which would not be available to our researchers in any other way. These projects are also funded byÌýgrants and donations. Feel free to show your support today.
