Abstract
In Western Europe, citizen science is one of the most popular library tasks today, whether in public or academic libraries. An increasingly important goal in library strategy is to reach out to society and strengthen public involvement. At the same time, we see and feel that although the basic tasks and general guidelines of libraries are the same not only throughout Europe but throughout the world, the acceptance and use of citizen science in the Central and Eastern European region is different and has a different dynamic. Librarians in the region are trying to adopt the research methodology of citizen science in different ways. In Hungary, despite the fact that there are an increasing number of citizen science projects in natural sciences, the involvement of libraries was not at all typical until the 2020s. The Association of Hungarian Librarians recognised the potential and role of libraries in citizen science. Under the aegis of the Association, we launched the Citizen Science Roadshow in November 2024, bringing together libraries (and librarians).
