It has also created a resources library and has organised several webinars related to the application of citizen science in the research projects.
- EU-Citizen.Science: an online platform to share knowledge, tools, training and resources about citizen science.
- Observatorio de la Ciencia Ciudadana en España: The Observatory of Citizen Science in Spain has the goal to compile the citizen science projects that are implemented in Spain, with the aim of disseminating them and of creating a network of collaboration and participation among the different actors involved.
