This year again, the forum brings together committed people from science and society to jointly explore and advance new approaches to participatory research.

Be part of it!

You can now submit contributions for two formats:

Poster Presentation:
Showcase innovative projects or initial project ideas that operate at the interface between research and society — and get feedback from forum participants.

Thematic Café:
Develop and discuss specific questions together with participants around the collaboration between science and society — from success factors of participatory projects to inclusion and diversity in research, as well as impact and sustainable cooperation.

The forum offers space for exchange, networking, and fresh perspectives — interdisciplinary, open, and collaborative.
We invite you to explore together how participation in research can succeed — and look forward to diverse contributions from all disciplines.
