Who said science is just for experts? In a world where active participation of the population is more crucial than ever, Citizen Science is revolutionising the way we collect data, create knowledge, develop more informed public policies, and empower citizens. This volume, the first such research published in the Italian language, explores the pillars of Citizen Science and the impact of the practice on society and the environment, from environmental monitoring projects to crowdsourced data analysis, from participatory urban planning to the democratisation of scientific information. Through practical examples and references to innovative cases, the authors guide the reader to the unveiling of an ecosystem in which citizens, scientists, institutions, and communities work together to address global challenges.
