BAYSICS brings together citizens, students and scientists of all ages in Bavaria to research the effects of climate change on plants and animals. The platform makes it possible to collect and analyze scientific data on the environment and makes climate research accessible to everyone. A user-friendly app that connects science and community.

02 About the requirements

BAYSICS should be easily accessible and make it easier to get started in climate research without compromising on scientific quality. The challenge was to transform the original development work of the researchers into an easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain platform that is also accessible as open source for development by the community.

03 About the solution

The use of Python and Django resulted in a stable and easy-to-use app that meets the needs of research. The platform has been adapted to high standards for scalability and maintenance, offers developers the opportunity to expand and supports a growing community that wants to advance climate research together.
