Using a cascade funding scheme, the project enables 10 small SSH-focused citizen science projects across Europe and collaborates with the research teams to identify and document their specific needs and challenges. Additionally, the research teams provde valuable input to help COESO develop an online hub called VERA (vera.operas-eu.org) where researchers and engaged stakeholders gather together and co-create participatory research projects . Furthermore, COESO advocates for enhanced financial support for citizen science projects in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
