  • a section devoted to questions and answers on citizen science;
  • a section devoted to cataloguing both existing and new citizen-science projects with an open-source webGIS for viewing initiatives on a map-based interface;
  • a tool for creating mini-sites for new citizen-science projects;
  • a web application, customisable by users and supporting any citizen-science activity, that provides for the collection of geo-referenced observations;
