The 2025 EU Prize for Citizen Science goes to three projects that are advancing disaster preparedness, reducing food waste and empowering Roma women’s emancipation

Yesterday, the winners of the 2025 EU Prize for Citizen Science were announced. Out of the 409 applications, three citizen science initiatives received the main prizes and 27 were recognised with honorary mentions.

Ekaterina Zaharieva, Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, said:

“Across Europe, citizens are stepping up to collect data, ask questions, and help solve real-world problems. The winners of this year’s EU Prize for Citizen Science show that science can thrive when everyone – including groups that are often less heard – gets involved.”
