About the Mass Experiment/Citizen Science concept

The Mass Experiment is an example of Citizen Science – a rapidly growing phenomenon in which non-scientists participate in research through collaboration with professional scientists. This is an exciting way to gain understanding of research in general among the public but at the same time raise awareness/knowledge in a particular subject area for a specific target group. In addition, mass experiments can directly support research by capturing large amounts of data in a short period of time.
