It’s Official: Citizen Science goes Global!
Earlier this week, my colleagues and I had the pleasure of being part of a historical moment: the official formalisation of the Citizen Science Global Partnership (CSGP). CitizenScience.Asia is proud to have been there from the beginning in Nairobi in 2017 where the establishment of a Global Secretariat was first proposed.
