EPICUR for Researchers
Citizen Science Workshop
During the KIT Science Week, EPICUR will be offering a Citizen Science workshop and expert consultations on October 17 at TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum. The morning workshop provides practical guidance on integrating Citizen Science into research and EU funding proposals, featuring three experts from the University of Barcelona and the University of Southern Denmark. In the afternoon, participants can receive personalized feedback and explore local projects. Both sessions aim to empower researchers, civil society, and policymakers to create impactful, fundable Citizen Science initiatives.
