Citizen Science and Environmental Monitoring: towards a methodology for evaluating Opportunities, Costs and Benefits, on behalf of UK EOF
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits below the typical range for Business Services contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 57,319 valued Business Services tenders in our corpus.
The UKEOF Citizen Science Working Group has identified a need to better understand the potential for citizen scientists to become more involved in environmental monitoring programmes, and how to identify and calculate the costs and benefits of them doing so.
This study originates from a Defra Strategic Network Evidence Group event, which tasked the Citizen Science Working Group with investigating the potential of involving volunteers in a wider range of monitoring activities and assessing any financial efficiency.
