Get involved in citizen science
Collaborative endeavors between scientists and civil society stakeholders have developed significantly in recent years. This growth is driven by public interest in the scientific approach and culture, as well as by the need to find solutions to complex issues (economic, social, health, environmental, cultural, educational and ethical). Digital technology has helped foster the development of this type of collaboration, drawing on both artificial and collective intelligence.
Citizen science relies on cooperation and public participation to produce knowledge in a manner that approaches the scientific, ethical, legal and technology issues of research from a broader perspective.
Finding answers together has thus become the great collective intelligence challenge of the 21st century.
Les Herbonautes : le 7e appel à projet est lancé !Les Herbonautes propose à une communauté d’internautes d’enrichir les données descriptives des spécimens des collections naturalistes, des herbiers principalement, contribuant ainsi à l’étude et à la connaissance de la biodiversité.

Garden butterfly monitoring
Opération Papillons aims to improve scientific knowledge on butterflies. The data collected over the long term should help measure the effects of human activities on these species.
Participants carry out inventories of butterflies in their gardens or on their balconies, noting the maximum number of individuals seen together for each species. At the end of each week of observation, the data are entered on the observatory website.

Centre de Recherches sur la Biologie des Populations d'Oiseaux
Suivre les oiseaux en les marquant pour connaître leur devenir, leurs déplacements, leurs migrations. Les données recueillies permettent de documenter la biologie des populations d'oiseaux sauvages en France.
Pour tout le monde : signaler au CRBPO tout oiseau sauvage porteur de marques. Pour les ornithologues avancés : se former aux méthodes de capture, marquage et mesure des oiseaux afin d'obtenir un 'permis de baguage' d'oiseaux.

Découverte et étude du plancton
Les objectifs du projet sont d’étudier la variabilité spatiale et temporelle de la communauté planctonique et de sensibiliser le public à cet univers méconnu.
Les plaisanciers et acteurs de la mer sont invités trois fois par an à échantillonner le plancton en rade de Brest et Lorient et dans la baie de Concarneau.

Science and music
Enjoy listening to music, annotating and learning about structures in music performance
CosmoNote was created to study the structures created and shaped in musical performance, i.e., those that arise from the decisions and actions of the performer. We are recruiting expert and non-expert participants who are curious and motivated to annotate, discover and learn about music performance.
CosmoNote uses any browser to present music recordings accompanied by visualizations of relevant descriptors. Our contributors will use interactive annotation tools to mark structures such as boundaries, transitions, note groups, found in performed music.

Evaluating the quality of rocky foreshores (in western France)
- To understand the links between the diversity and abundance of brown algae cover and the diversity and abundance of gastropods on the foreshore. - To develop, through collaborative efforts between scientists and members of the community, a shared vision of the quality of rocky foreshores
BioLit participants survey kelp and periwinkles according to the protocols. The data are entered on the Planète Mer BioLit website. They are processed by scientists at the MNHN. Finally, they are published in the BioLimètre newsletter.
