Citizen Science Zurich is now a permanent center at the University of Zurich
After eight successful years as Competence Center at ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, we are now a permanent center based at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Zurich. We are delighted about this permanent status and would like to thank the University of Zurich for the trust and support it has shown us!
At the same time, ETH Zurich has decided to end its support for Citizen Science Zurich at the end of 2025. We deeply regret this decision. For the future, this means that our organizational structure is simplified and ETH Zurich is no longer represented on our Board of Directors. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Prof. em. Dr. Ernst Hafen and Prof. Dr. Nicholas Bokulich for their many years of service on our Board of Directors and for their commitment to Citizen Science in general.
The reduction in basic funding means that we will increasingly have to cover the costs of our services. However, this will not affect our current services for the time being, and we look forward to many new collaborations in 2026!
