Over the course of 18 months, the Policy Support Facility (PSF) conducted a Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) to bridge the gap between the promising practices in citizen science and the longer-term vision of maximising its potential.
The PSF exercise addressed the following topics:
- exploring the diversity of citizen science practices;
- ensuring good practices and impact;
- maximising the relevance and excellence of citizen science;
- establishing enabling environments for sustaining citizen science; and
- scaling up citizen science.
MLE participants developed a number of recommendations for building an enabling environment for supporting, sustaining and scaling up citizen science.
