FWF | Top Citizen Science 2025
Research for you and me – the Top Citizen Science program is aimed at researchers who actively involve citizens in the research process. Whether collecting data, sharing observations, or contributing experiences – there are no limits to the ways citizens can participate, and partners such as schools or clubs can also be involved.
Target group
This funding program is aimed at all researchers leading an FWF-funded project. The objective is to address citizens of different ages, genders, and social backgrounds as well as people with highly specialized knowledge and expertise (knowledge communities). Young target groups are expressly welcome.
Funding goals
Eligible for funding are research activities that enable the participation of citizens, who contribute their skills, expertise, and curiosity. As a result, research findings can be expanded and the scientific knowledge generated can be significantly increased.
Funding period and funding amount
- Up to 24 months
- Max. €100,000
On February 6, 2025, a virtual FWF Coaching Workshop takes place in German. Further information can be found here.
