EPICUR Citizen Science Offerings during the KIT Science Week
17.10.2025 9:00 -12:30: EPICUR Citizen Science Workshop: From Idea to Impact - incl. EU Funding Strategies!
Workshop for researchers, research support staff and stakeholders from civil society and government
Location: TRIANGEL Transfer | Kultur | Raum, Kaiserstraße 93
Citizen Science connects disciplines and builds meaningful bridges between research and society to address global challenges. This workshop, hosted by the EPICUR university alliance, brings together leading experts Josep Perelló (University of Barcelona), Anne Kathrine Overgaard, and Thomas Kaarsted (University of Southern Denmark) to explore how Citizen Science can be effectively integrated into scientific projects and how to successfully apply for EU funding, as Citizen Science is becoming an increasingly important component in many funding calls.
Designed for researchers (all levels and disciplines), university research support staff, local NGOs, civil society members, municipal policymakers, librarians and educators, the workshop offers:
- Practical insights into implementing Citizen Science in research
- Preparation and guidance for incorporating Citizen Science into EU research funding proposals
- Facilitated discussions to develop or refine project ideas using the CoAct toolkit
- Best practices for collaboration across sectors
Participants will engage in hands-on activities, exchange ideas and learn from experts in the field. Whether you're starting a new initiative or enhancing an existing one, this workshop provides the tools and knowledge to make your Citizen Science project impactful and fundable.
The introductory part of the workshop will be streamed live as a webinar with interactive Q&A sessions. If you are unable to attend in person, you can participate online.
