The COESO project fosters the growth of citizen science/participatory research in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). We do so by engaging with and bridging three key communities: 1) the European social sciences and humanities community, 2) the citizen science community, and 3) the open scholarly communication community. As an…

In his talk, “Breaking the Wall of Sustainable Farming”, Thomas Rippel explained how manure – which is a rich natural fertilizer, but also produces large amounts of toxic gases – can be neutralised in an eco-friendly and highly efficient way. With a simple yet brilliant idea Thomas Rippel finds a…

Jamil Muradov is addressing the significant issue of concussions affecting over 42 million individuals annually, leading to long-term complications in some cases. His proposed solution involves using the clinically approved drug Memantine to inhibit abnormal brain activity triggered by concussions, showing promise in pre-clinical trials for potential use in human…
