István Matskási CIVIL SCIENCE AND MUSEUMS Civil science embraces and organises the voluntary and active participation of civilians in the process of research both in natural and social sciences. The movement is widely acknowledged internationally, besides local and regional research, numerous projects do research that goes over the border in fact over continents in order to solve global issues (global climate change, environmental protection, exploring biodiversity). The participation of civilians ranges from raising questions, problems through data collection to accomplishing research projects and assessing results. It is the research institute’s responsibility to initiate, organise and coordinate the activity, to provide scientific background and to communicate the results to the public. The cooperation is advantageous for both parties and brings returns. Besides acquiring new scientific knowledge, the basic aim of the civil science movement is to promote scientific knowledge, to democratise science, to dismantle the barriers existing between society and science. Taking part in research work is the most efficient way of acquiring knowledge, it contributes to the acknowledgement of science and to the increase of its prestige in society. Besides effective research, spending free time usefully and the experience and pleasure of working together are also essential. The aims and tasks of civil science entirely reflect the mission of museums. The good practices of civil science movement provide a really effective and perspective opportunity to fulfil two of their triple tasks, that is scientific research and public culture (in other words: scientific knowledge transfer, scientific communication). Several leading museums of the world, mainly in the area of science, initiate and lead projects of large dimensions with the participation of many thousands of volunteers. Their fruitful work can be a good example to follow for Hungarian museums. 131
