This book provides a representation of the practices as well as scientific and societal outcomes in different disciplines.

It reflects the contribution of citizen science to societal development, education, or innovation and provides and overview of the field of actors as well as on tools and guidelines.

It serves as an introduction for anyone whowants to get involved in and learn more about the science of citizen science.
