Citizen science

The 2021 Citizen Science Awards are now open!

The Citizen Science Grants – Round 2 provides eligible entities with competitive grants from $150,000 to $500,000 for research projects in a field of science that has a national impact and supports community participation.

We invite interested parties to submit applications to the Inspiring South Australia program for grant funding for community science engagement and science communication projects.

We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the Unsung Hero of South Australian Science Awards in 2020, and celebrate their amazing contributions to science and science communication in the state.

We have many updates for the citizen science community this month! New projects launching, messages from existing projects and the success of the City Nature Challenge.

With expeditions on hold due to COVID-19, the Bush Blitz team has organised a virtual expedition to continue adding to our knowledge of Australian biodiversity while keeping everyone busy at home.

The Inspiring Australia funded Mega Murray-Darling Microbat project has just been completed, and the project has some fabulous outcomes.
