The ScienceUs project is launching an open call to scale up and connect outstanding Citizen Science projects in different research and technological areas relevant to the EU mission “Adaptation to climate change”.
ScienceUs proposes a three-phase support program (Seed – Flourish – Harvest phases) with direct funding and support services to a group of outstanding Citizen Science initiatives that have the potential to be upscaled to other EU regions.
Throughout these phases, ScienceUs will assist the citizen science projects by:
- Defining a transnational citizen science campaign and upscaling plan,
- Implementing the transnational campaign plan by facilitating the matchmaking between EU citizen science initiatives and the involvement of quadruple helix actors in the projects,
- Facilitating that these supported Citizen Science projects transfer the best practices and lessons learned to other initiatives and projects and quadruple helix actors (mainly policymakers), generating a knowledge spillover effect.
This Open Call will select 25 projects to participate in the program’s first phase (Seed phase). Subsequently, five projects will be selected from the initial 25 to progress to the subsequent two phases of the programme (Flourish and Harvest phases).
All ongoing citizen science initiatives related to climate change adaptation run by an EU legal entity are eligible to apply.
| Deadlines |
| First Phase (SEED PHASE) January 6th, 2025. |
| Second Phase * (FLOURISH PHASE) April 30th, 2025. |
| Third Phase ** (HARVEST PHASE) November 30th, 2025. |
* Only projects participating in the SEED PHASE can apply for progression to the FLOURISH PHASE.
** Only projects participating in the FLOURISH PHASE can apply for progression to the HARVEST PHASE.
Who can apply?
Legal entities (including consortia), from EU Member States or third European countries associated with Horizon Europe, with an ongoing citizen science initiative related to adaptation to climate change. For consortia, all applicants must be eligible. They must choose a lead who will submit the application and engage with ScienceUs on their behalf. A list of eligible countries can be found here.
