Citizen Science i Abisko : Hur ser förutsättningarna ut inom forskning i nordliga ekosystem?
In this paper I examine the possibilities for researchers in the field of climate change in the arctic ecosystems to collaborate with people of the common public for monitoring or to answer scientific questions, sometimes called Citizen Science. I have done this by focusing on the research community...

I present a number of examples of possible projects that I have collected through literature, interviews and field work with researchers.

However, Citizen Science can also be a part of the democratization of a community when local people get engaged. Thus different aspects of Citizen Science are suitable for different target groups.
