Action
ACTION (Participatory science toolkit against pollution) was a three-year Horizon 2020 project (2019–2022) that aimed to democratise citizen science around environmental pollution. It supported dozens of grassroots “pilot” projects via an accelerator, providing funding, mentoring, training, and infrastructure. It also developed an open-access toolkit full of methods, guidelines, and digital tools to help citizens and researchers co-create, run, and sustain inclusive science projects ensuring rigorous data, community engagement, and long-term impact. Furthermore, it built a framework to measure the social, environmental, economic, and policy impact of citizen science, promoting responsible research and innovation.
