The Citizen Science Solution Kit (CSSK)
A collection of open source digital tools made available to create and manage crowdsourcing projects for social and environmental challenges.
Crowdsourced data can help tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Open Seventeen participants as well as any other students and citizens can use the tools shared here to develop, test and run their SDG-related crowdsourcing project.

- Decidim4CS is a platform for public deliberation and collective decision-making.
