The following table presents international networks of citizens which have to be considered in the context of diversity and vulnerability.
In the civil society networks special attention is given to those vulnerable groups with communication difficulties, e.g., people with visual or hearing impairment; elderly and young people. Religious minorities are mentioned too, which are at risk to become a target for terrorist attacks. But also, the digital volunteers and citizens and science initiatives are considered as they could give valuable support in crisis situations.

Citizen science – the most recognizable term for this practice – is expanding the reach, relevance, and impact of science in almost every area of inquiry; in the field and online; through local and global efforts. By broadening who can contribute to, shape, and use the tools and skills of science, these efforts can address questions with increased data and insight, develop shared social and scientific understanding of complex problems, and open new opportunities for shared discovery, scholarship, learning, justice, and action.
