A Citizen Science project requires a lot of interaction with non-scientists. This requires special communication skills, organizational talent and the ability to motivate and work with volunteers. In this session, participants take a look at themselves and their organization and reflect whether their skill set fits a Citizen Science project. As a result, participants learn where they are well prepared, in which areas they can improve and for which tasks they might need external help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
