ECSA has evolved from an informal network of citizen science practitioners to an influential association that supports and advocates for public participation in science.

Acronym: ECSA

ECSA's vision is that all citizens in Europe are valued and empowered as actors in advancing knowledge and innovation, and thus supporting sustainable development. ECSA wants to establish citizen science as a recognized, promoted and funded approach, one that fosters scientific literacy and the democratization of science. Through this, it wants to see an increase in the social relevance and sustainable impact of research, and a stronger evidence base for policy processes, in Europe and globally.

ECSA’s mission is to connect citizens and science; to promote sustainable development through citizen science; and to ensure that citizen science contributes to policy processes.
