More and more professional scientists are involving amateurs in their research. But what exactly is Citizen Science and where does it come from? What is the impact of collaboration on professionals and amateurs in Citizen Science? How do projects work that involve amateurs? Are there any examples from Austria? Can anything be done to make Citizen Science more popular and easier in Austria? The article by Florian Heigl and Daniel Dörler addresses these questions in the 2015 Yearbook of Education for Sustainable Development, which was published in June 2015.
