The EC2U Alliance: Explore "Citizen Science" activities that focus on supporting research and fostering innovation partnerships.
The 2024 EC²U Forum: Citizen Science in Action. The RI4C2 Project and EC²U Pilot Living Labs.
Explore the power of citizen science during the EC²U Forum and discover how collaborative efforts in research and innovation are making an impact. During this session, we will introduce the activities that are a part of the RI4C2 project (an EC²U Alliance sister project) that focus on supporting research and innovation partnerships. Participants will learn more about the RI4C2 project's Citizen Science initiative and, as part of the EC²U Living Lab for Good Health & Well-being, the “Better Aging at Home” initiative. Living Labs at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz will be introduced as an inspiration for the EC²U community to develop similar projects.
