    • Galaxy Zoo  + (The main purpose is to understand how galaThe main purpose is to understand how galaxies formed. According to the Galaxy Zoo team : <span style="background-color:#eeeeee" class="citation">“"Galaxies come in very different shapes and have very different properties. they may be large or small, old or young, red or blue, regular or confused, luminous or faint, dusty or gas-poor, rotating or static, round or disky, and they live either in splendid isolation or in clusters. In other words, the universe contains a very colourful and diverse zoo of galaxies. For almost a century, astronomers have been discussing how galaxies should be classified and how they relate to each other in an attempt to attack the big question of how galaxies form." ”</span></br>The classification of images in Galaxy Zoo would help scientists to understand the structure of the universe and determine whether there is anything "fundamentally wrong" with existing galaxy models.ntally wrong" with existing galaxy models.)
    • CS4CS  + (The overall Citizen Cyberlab project will The overall Citizen Cyberlab project will research and evaluate on-line collaborative environments and software tools that stimulate creative learning in the context of Citizen Cyberscience. The purpose of the CS4CS project is to contribute to the the "general picture", i.e. understand certain aspects of citizen science by looking at a larger set of documented projects.</br></br>The CS4CS sub-project aims in particular:</br>* To create an inventory of citizen science projects, infrastructure and software</br>* To identify properties of interest to learning, creativity, motivation and community researchers</br>* To provide a searchable database and some summary statisticshable database and some summary statistics)
    • Celebrate Urban Birds  + (The project assesses the value of green spaces for birds, ranging in size from a potted plant to half a basketball court.)
    • Solar Stormwatch  + (The reason that we want lots of people doing this is because that takes away the subjectivity. If we have a consensus view of what a CME looks like and which way it's going then you can be much more confident about that answer being correct.)

    • Phénoclim  + (The seasonal rhythms of living things, espThe seasonal rhythms of living things, especially plants, are entirely dependent on temperature. If the spring temperature is a few degrees higher than normal, plants can begin budding and flowering several weeks earlier than usual. These events can therefore be valuable indicators of the impact of climate change on vegetation. This is what is at stake in the Phenoclim program.what is at stake in the Phenoclim program.)
    • Citizen science project test  + (There is no purpose)
    • Air Quality with Biomarkers  + (This is a demo project that shows potential of the pyBossa platform.)
    • Cell Slider  + (This project is a first of its kind for CaThis project is a first of its kind for Cancer Research UK. It will change the face of cancer research. We’re fighting for a world where no one’s life will be cut short by cancer . . . and there is real hope. Each year, our scientists get closer to finding cures for cancers – whether through targeted treatments or earlier detection. We are on the brink of major breakthroughs and by simply giving a few minutes of your time you will become part of a collaborative collective force that will to dramatically reduce the time needed to analyse our research data. time needed to analyse our research data.)

    • Budburst  + (We are a network of people across the UnitWe are a network of people across the United States who monitor plants as the seasons change. We are a national field campaign designed to engage the public in the collection of important ecological data based on the timing of leafing, flowering, and fruiting of plants (plant phenophases). Project BudBurst participants make careful observations of these plant phenophases. The data are being collected in a consistent manner across the country so that scientists can use the data to learn more about the responsiveness of individual plant species to changes in climate locally, regionally, and nationally. Thousands of people from all 50 states have participated. Project BudBurst began in 2007 in response to requests from people like you who wanted to make a meaningful contribution to understanding changes in our environment. understanding changes in our environment.)
