Poster Short Abstract
CS-NL developed a method using language models to map citizen science in the Netherlands, identifying both top-down and grassroots projects with Dutch partners. This interactive poster shows our findings and invites others to explore applying the method in their own country.
Poster Abstract
Citizen Science NL (CS-NL) has developed a method for continuously mapping citizen science across the Netherlands. This approach provides insights into where, how, and by whom citizen science is being conducted. As part of this effort, we created a search strategy based on Large Language Models to identify both top-down projects (funded by research agencies) and bottom-up initiatives (funded through grassroots or alternative sources).
Our analysis focuses on projects with at least one Dutch partner, offering a detailed view of the national citizen science landscape. This helps reveal the scope, distribution, and nature of citizen science activity throughout the country.
In this interactive poster, we present both the method and the results of our mapping work. Visitors are invited to explore how this approach can be adapted for use in other countries and contexts, potentially supporting similar mapping efforts elsewhere.
