22. Opportunities and Challenges for Marine Citizen Science
Opportunities and Challenges for Marine Citizen Science
Digital twins of the environment need large volumes of data and often combine diverse data from various sources. While citizen science has been mentioned as a potential data source for digital twins, the full potential of citizen science in this context has yet to be fully realised. The ILIAD project aims to explore the potential for citizen science to contribute to creating digital twins of the ocean and how citizen scientists and citizens can benefit from digital twins.

The Iliad Digital Twin of the Ocean is an EU-funded project that builds on two decades of investments in policies and infrastructures for the blue economy and aims to establish an interoperable, data-intensive, and cost-effective Digital Twin of the Ocean.
Groundstation.Space is one of the Iliad consortium partners.
