* Science Shop Summer School

It has become a tradition that the Living Knowledge Conference offers a Summer School on Science Shops in the pre-conference programme. This ‘crash course’ offers an overview of different ways to facilitate research with and for society though Science Shops or similar units. It is aimed at those who are relatively new to this – or those that just want to broaden their overview. It will help you make the most out of the main conference.
