All details about the winners Support for Citizen Science Initiatives Citizen Science makes a significant contribution to a vibrant civil society – and this is fortunately also being perceived by an increasingly broad public. The European Commission wants to further promote this development and underline the importance of Citizen Science, not least for the sustainability of our society.
The “European Union Prize for Citizen Science”, which was awarded for the first time in 2023, is an expression of this concern. The annual prize recognizes outstanding initiatives that put research, innovation, commitment and creativity at the service of our society, empowering us as individuals and strengthening us as a community.
Citizen Science describes “the general public engagement in scientific research activities when citizens actively contribute to science either with their intellectual effort or surrounding knowledge or with their tools and resources” (European Commission, 2014). Citizen Science projects are scientific projects that are partly or entirely driven by interested and committed laypersons or practical experts.
These “Citizen Scientists” formulate research questions, report observations, carry out measurements, evaluate data or write publications – always in compliance with scientific criteria. Read the IMPETUS definition of Citizen Science to learn more about how Citizen Science is defined within the context of the European Union Prize for Citizen Science.

USDA announced 194 Value-Added Producer Grant awards totaling $26.5 million on September 18, 2026 — beef took $11.6 million of it. The FY26 caps were cut to $50,000 and $200,000, a new rule disqualifies applications with grant-writer fees above 15 percent, and the average award landed above the dollar threshold that earns priority points. Here is how the scoring actually works.
Read articleA new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
