For the Swiss Citizen Science Summer School 2021, hosted by the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, we designed and lead an online workshop about how to find and keep volunteers for citizen science projects. If you think you can set up and plan your citizen science project on your own, think again! To find people collaborating with you in a project, you need to know who they are before you start planning too many other project details. Who are the collaborators you need to make your project a success? What are their interests? And how can you reach them?
To help the participants to apply everything they learnt in the workshop, we developed this checklist:
It may be useful for others as well. Feel free to use it and share it.
