For instance, the development of environmental citizen science projects gives to a growing number of lay citizens the possibility to take part in real-life research processes, most often by collecting data aiming to survey or monitor biodiversity. Out of their value for scientific research about biodiversity and the environment, these programs are also expected to promote public engagement towards conservation issues, and to foster public learning or public understanding of science. These outcomes of citizen science depend strongly on the ability of these programs to constitute stable epistemic communities of participants which learn and produce knowledge together. The constitution of these communities may be facilitated through (online and physical) interactions among citizen scientists. In this contribution, we present the content analysis of the 78500 comments posted in the Spipoll’s citizen science platform from 2010 to 2018. The Spipoll citizen science program (Photographic Survey of Flower Visitors, www.spipoll.org) was created in 2010 by the French Museum of Natural History to survey pollinator species assemblages in the whole French territory. From the beginning of the program, anyone registered on the Spipoll platform (volunteers and experts) was able to comment on each other’s collections through an online platform. The exploration of this online space of discussion shows that it favors exchanges and reflections about aesthetical, interpersonal, biological and methodological aspects, which together support the constitution of citizen scientists epistemic communities. It also figures out the aquisition of a variety of scientific skills (both scientific knowledge and procedural skills) by long-term participants. *Lectures préparatoires* - Bedessem, B., Gawrońska-Novak, B. and Lis, P.
