Citizen science plays a crucial role in making research more inclusive and impactful. This matchmaking event is designed to bring academia and society closer together, encouraging meaningful exchanges between researchers and citizens. By connecting scientific expertise with real-world experiences and community-driven questions, the initiative seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and everyday life.

“This event is meant to kickstart a new wave of citizen participation in academic research projects in the Maastricht region. It is an exciting opportunity to bring researchers and the wider public into conversation and collaboration in the name of science!” says Melissa Prinz, Citizen Science Project Officer, who led the grant application.
