REINFORCE

The REINFORCE project (Research Infrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe) aims to engage and support citizens to cooperate with researchers and actively contribute in the development of new knowledge for the needs of science and society.

GOALS

Citizens engagement to contribute to online frontier science

Creation of an active community of citizens who actively participate in scientific endeavors

Introduction of Responsible R&I in frontier Citizen Science Landscape

Impact assessment of frontier citizen science in science and society

Creation of a policy roadmap for other large RI willing to implement citizen science projects

Explore the potential of frontier citizen science for inclusion and diversity

DEMONSTRATORS

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE NOISE HUNTING

Citizen scientists will look at chunks of
Gravitational Wave data and identify the presence of noise which limits the sensitivity
of detectors.

DEEP
SEA HUNTERS

Citizens will help to improve neutrino
detection algorithms, while gaining a greater insight of the unexplored deep marine
environment.

SEARCH FOR NEW PARTICLES AT THE LHC

Citizens will be engaged in the quest of the Large Hadron Collider of CERN for the discovery of the ultimate structure of matter as well as particle theories beyond the Standard Model.

Cosmic Muons

Citizens will help explore the connections across the fields of cosmic ray physics, geology, volcanology and archaeology through the use of data and simple experimental devices.
