Small science (in contrast to big science) is science performed in a smaller scale, such as by individuals, small teams or within community projects. Bodies which fund research, such as the National Science Foundation, DARPA, and the EU with its Framework programs, have a tendency to fund larger-scale research projects. Reasons include the idea that ambitious research needs significant resources devoted for its execution and the reduction of administrative and overhead costs on the funding body side. However, small science which has data that is often local and is not easily shared is funded in many areas such as chemistry and biology by these funding bodies.

Tema degli esploratori: storia e filosofia della scienza (deposito sistematico; categoria «History of science»).
