The international organising committee includes researchers and administrators of science shops, of Fondation Sciences Citoyennes, of INES and of divers universities coming from different European countries (Netherlands, Romania, France, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Northern Ireland), from the USA, Canada and South Africa.
During the conference we will discuss five main conference themes divided into numerous sub-themes.
The 3rd international Living knowledge conference will provide a forum where information on community based research, carried out in both community and academic settings, on new forms of partnerships between research and civil society and on new modes of innovation can be shared and developed. It aims at disseminating and exchanging information on community based and participatory research, on citizens’ science and cooperative innovation.
