research <em>with<\/em> or <em>by<\/em> citizens, rather than <em>to<\/em>, <em>about<\/em> or <em>for<\/em> them. A citizen can be anyone belonging to the general population or someone whose specific role makes their involvement particularly important, such as representatives of patient groups. Citizen involvement can be described using various terms, including experiential expertise, co-creation, and citizen science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>What is citizen science?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizen science is a form of scientific research where ordinary citizens participate in conducting research alongside professional researchers. Citizen scientists can contribute in many ways: collecting, categorising, and analysing data, formulating research questions, or commenting on research results. At its core, citizen science is about collaboration and interaction, where researchers and citizens learn from each other and generate knowledge together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of citizen science is not new; ordinary people have been contributing to science for a long time, for instance, by observing natural phenomena. However, modern technologies such as mobile applications and open platforms have significantly expanded opportunities for participation. Citizen science empowers everyone to contribute to and influence scientific endeavours based on their own perspectives and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-1024x652.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-1024x652.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-768x489.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-1536x977.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-168x107.png 168w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka-190x121.png 190w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/tahka.png 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dInvolving the public means conducting research <strong>with<\/strong> or <strong>by<\/strong> citizens rather than <strong>to<\/strong>, <strong>about<\/strong> or <strong>for<\/strong> them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Benefits of citizen science<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizen science provides the scientific community with resources and perspectives that would otherwise be unavailable. The collective power of citizens enables the cost-effective collection and processing of large datasets, which is particularly beneficial in fields like natural resource and environmental research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, participation enriches citizens\u2019 understanding of science and strengthens their sense of community. Citizens can influence research topics and gain knowledge about issues related to their local environment or personal interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Responsible citizen science promotes accessibility and inclusion in science<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizen science is founded on openness and ethics. Researchers must ensure that participants are treated fairly and receive recognition for their contributions. Efforts are made to publish datasets and research findings openly, making them accessible to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dCitizen science embodies responsible and open scientific practices, with respect for participants and transparency of knowledge as core principles.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/shared-ideas-filter_pieni.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/shared-ideas-filter_pieni.png 648w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/shared-ideas-filter_pieni-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/shared-ideas-filter_pieni-168x112.png 168w, https:\/\/sites.utu.fi\/tiede-kuuluu-kaikille\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1608\/2026\/09\/shared-ideas-filter_pieni-190x127.png 190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation can range from one-off contributions to long-term involvement, with every effort being valuable. Citizen science can engage groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in scientific research. By bringing science closer to people\u2019s everyday lives and needs, citizen science helps to bridge the gap between science and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Collaborating in science<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planned citizen research panel is one way to apply citizen science in practice. Panel activities offer researchers an accessible opportunity to incorporate citizen science into their work. For citizens, the panel creates unique opportunities for participation and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Citizen science in University of
