Our demonstrator catchments<\/a> are located around the country and have been helping innovate new approaches, test new methods, and showcase the power of collaboration! We are preparing many more case studies and looking to make this map representative of the incredible efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re also in the process of publishing an ambitious roadmap that makes this project sustainable and scalable for all of the UK. We need you to tell them that this is needed, and also to be part of our growing collaborative network. Planning for gatherings and ways to share resources is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome projects and organisations that are aligned with the CaSTCo principles<\/a> to complete this form<\/a>. In doing so, you’ll be helping in developing the process of what a more formal assessment or accreditation process might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being included on the CaSTCo map is not only about assessment or accreditation, it’s also about joining a growing network of groups committed to community-based monitoring, data sharing, and collaborative learning. By joining, you’ll be part of a wider movement where ideas, experiences, and success stories can be shared to strengthen citizen science across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After submitting the form, a member of the CaSTCo team will be in touch to discuss your aims, any support you might need, and whether you’d like to explore formal alignment with CaSTCo principles. Once reviewed, your project or organisation may be added to the CaSTCo map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
