The REINFORCE – citizen science project

Credit : REINFORCE
Abstract
The REINFORCE project (Research Infrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe) aims to engage and support citizens to cooperate with researchers and actively contribute in the development of new knowledge for the needs of science and society. Multiples projects are hosted by REINFORCE
- GWitchHunters: Its aim is to develop a cutting-edge citizen science programme by providing public access to GW antenna data, including environmental data, for an open-data project.
- Deep Sea Explorers: Invites citizens to optimize the KM3NeT neutrino telescope against sources of environmental noise which have never been systematically studied, while engaging in the exciting world of neutrino astronomy.
- New Particle Search at CERN: Citizens will be engaged in the quest of the Large Hadron Collider of CERN for the discovery of the ultimate structure of matter as well as particle theories beyond the Standard Model.
- Cosmic Muon Images: Interdisciplinary studies with Geoscience and Archaeology has the goal to show how the technology developed to study fundamental physics can be applied to the development of frameworks that may have a significant impact on society.
