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.

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.

Participatory audit of walkability and air quality.
EXPO'PED is proposing an original study of the walking mobility of elderly people in a neighbourhood and their exposure to atmospheric pollutants on a micro-local scale.
A dozen volunteers carried out three air quality measurement campaigns in their neighbourhoods in autumn 2022, winter and spring 2023, using sensors to measure fine particles and nitrogen dioxides that were loaned to them.

Observe the lichens in town to follow the evolution of air quality.
Lichens GO is a monitoring of lichens growing on trees in cities to better understand the ecology of these organisms and their sensitivity to air pollution.
Locate three straight trees. Observe the lichens on their trunks and determine them with the Lichens GO key (available on the site) Enter your observation data and participate in the construction of knowledge on these organisms and on air quality!
