Fundación Ibercivis – D-NOSES Project Coordinator
Ibercivis is a non-for-profit foundation devoted to citizen science in Spain, which has deployed over 60 citizen science experiments, that allow society to participate in scientific research directly and in real time, supporting the research groups with hardware and software development. The foundation runs the Spanish portal Observatory of Citizen Science, is part of the steering committee of the European Citizen Science Association and has been working on enabling general public engagement in science through various European and community projects at local, national and international levels, such as the European Socientize Project. The latter delivered the White Paper on Citizen Science for Europe, referenced as a flagship document for the citizen science policymaking. Ibercivis also developed Odourcollect app to report odour complaints as a citizen science experiment which officially launched on September 30, 2016.
