EPICUR recently organised the "Open Science Days" event in Strasbourg, giving the EPICluster teams the opportunity to present the results of their respective projects.
EPICUR’s EPIClusters are collaborative research projects carried out by early career researchers from the 9 partner universities. They aim to tackle scientific and social challenges and provide innovative solutions.
The EPIClusters presented 4 projects:
- Seeking a new language: Exploring the narratives of home, migration and identity among Ukrainian youth in Europe.
- CoCon Tomato: Developing an early warning system against the tomato leafminer.
- EPIC Nutrients: Creating a novel fertiliser from raw waste materials through interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Energy Transition: Paving the way for a sustainable and just transition to renewable energy in Europe.
After the presentations, the EPICluster groups had the opportunity to experience an immersive show in the planetarium of the Jardin des Sciences.
