SciCultureD Meets: hybrid artistic and entrepreneurial events

After the intensive courses, the participants are invited to join the SciCultureD Meets, a multiplier even that showcases the course participant’s design, performance, event management, marketing and event-related skills to embed their new skills and knowledge. The event format is determined by the SciCultureD course participants as dictated by a student-led, open-ended process. The event brings in new audiences in particular other researchers, designers, artists, makers, innovators, entrepreneurs, public engagement practitioners and other academics, but also citizens interested in the topics. The activities can include dialogues and/or workshops alongside some form of artistic, scientific and/or entrepreneurial expression in an engaging and inspiring format.

Event Objectives:

SciCultureD event organised in collaboration with the course participants to maximise their learning while sharing best practice. Organising the event after the course will help cement the mentorship and SciCultured ambassador programme (D6)
To engage different groups of citizens and community groups (eNGOs), and relevant targets groups (HEI students (undergraduates, postgraduates), various professionals and early career researchers).
This series of multiplier events aim is to build a transdisciplinary network focused on improving the health, well-being and cohesiveness of EU society and its environment.
