[From Google Translate] Citizen science in Italy: state of the art and perspectives

In recent decades, science has undergone a profound change in the way it is perceived, realized, communicated and shared. The advent of new concepts such as "open science", "participatory research" and "citizen science" (so-called citizen science) is leading to a new way of looking at research, in many fields, from biology to ecology, to climatology and to astronomy, from neuroscience to medicine and computer science.
