The ACTION is looking for ongoing citizen science projects related to any form of pollution in Europe and worldwide, that are primarily carried out online.

1000 new grants and donors
This call is for:

ongoing citizen science projects looking for support, financial and otherwise, to grow and become sustainable;
communities interested in co-designing research into pollution in any relevant discipline, from biodiversity and environmental sciences to astronomy and the humanities;
