Time / Volunteer
Support clearly defined research, coordination, field or project tasks.
Participation
Contribute to work, not just a mailing list.
ARDUNA is building its contributor model around real tasks and projects. A role should have a clear purpose, defined responsibility and a reason to exist.
In the founding stage we are interested in people who can help research, build, review, design, connect or test useful work. We will not create impressive titles without substance.
Ways to contribute
Different skills. One standard: useful participation.
The exact roles will change with each project. These are the contribution paths ARDUNA is preparing for.
Research contributor
Find sources, review evidence, organize data and improve analysis.
Technology contributor
Build software, data tools, automation, prototypes or technical systems.
Expert / Adviser
Review methods, assumptions, risks and technical decisions in a defined area.
Creative contributor
Help make evidence, projects and public knowledge clear without overselling them.
Student / Emerging researcher
Take part in structured research tasks with clear scope and review.
Project founder
Bring a climate-related problem, idea or existing project for serious evaluation.
Institutional partner
Discuss research, pilots, implementation, funding or knowledge partnerships.
Participation standard
A contribution should be real enough to describe.
Participation is not a badge. It should connect a person or institution to a defined responsibility, project or body of work.
01
Clear purpose
Every role should answer what needs to be done and why it matters.
02
Integrity
Evidence, conflicts of interest and uncertainty should be handled openly.
03
Do no harm
People, communities and sensitive information must be treated responsibly.
04
Transparency
Responsibilities, partnerships and relevant funding should be understandable.
05
Evidence
Strong opinions do not replace sources, methods or measurable results.
06
No honorary roles
Titles should reflect actual contribution, not create the appearance of a large organization.
Current status
Participation is being structured.
ARDUNA does not yet have a permanent open volunteer intake or a large standing team. Project-specific opportunities and clear contributor needs will be published as real work becomes available.
