In September 2026, the Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, KU) organizes a transformation summer camp on the topic “Participatory Research & Citizen Science”.

The Transformation Summer Camp 2026 addresses current issues at the intersection of participatory research, transformative science, and citizen science. We firmly believe that the sustainable development of our societies is only possible if we involve citizens and stakeholders from politics, local government, business, education, and civil society more closely in science and research.

We are inviting graduate students (those who are completing their Master’s degree at the moment or have already completed it) to apply with their ideas and become part of the one-week research camp at our University.

Full scholarships are available (covering travel, accommodation and meals) for those who are accepted.

Deadline for application – April 19, 2026

U petak 6.2.2026. u klubu nastavnika se održala celodnevna radionica za pripremu i pisanje projekata za predstojeći Twinning poziv u organizaciji kancelarije za međunarodnu saradnju Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta.

Dvadeset učesnika i učesnica iz istraživačkih grupa sa departmana za Geografiju, turizam i hotelijerstvo, Biologiju i ekologiju, Matematiku i informatiku, je prošlo kroz osnovne i napredne delove pripreme Twininga, njegova pravila i specifičnosti kao i osnovne gradivne jedinice – excellence, impact i implementation.

U prvom delu obuke Gordana Vlahović je predstavila ideju Twinninga i kako ga “čitati između redova”.

Profesorica Basarin je predstavila primer dobro napisane excellence sekcije i podelila preporuke za predlog projekta koji se posebno ističu. Profesorica Kerkez je u drugom delu predstavila Impact kao sekciju projekta i njegov naučni, ekonomsko/tehnološki, društveni uticaj kao i aktivnosti komunikacije, eksploatacije i diseminacije rezultata projekta. U trećem delu obuke, Profesorcia Maletić je opisala Implementaciju kroz opis radnih paketa, deliverabli i analizu rizika.

Radionica je protekla u otvorenoj i radnoj atmosferi, uz aktivno učešće svih učesnika. Konkretni primeri i jasno objašnjeni koraci u pripremi Twinning projekata pomogli da se poziv sagleda realnije i sigurnije. Kancelarija za međunarodnu saradnju PMF-a nastavlja da stoji na raspolaganju istraživačima – kako u razradi projektnih ideja, tako i u administrativnoj i organizacionoj podršci tokom pripreme projektnih prijava.
