Novel Co-creation Initiative
|
|
|
|
|
The ORION project has launched a funding call for novel co-creation initiatives to open up research in life sciences and biomedicine. This call will provide funding of up to 100,000€ for a project that brings together a variety of participants from across a range of sectors to co-create a new project or product based around life sciences research. The aim of this call is to make research activities in life sciences and biomedicine more open, transparent, accessible, relevant and impactful for research and for society. The call is very open and we encourage you to be as imaginative as possible. The deadline for project submission is on 30th September 2019.

SMOVE - Teenagers are sitting on science
|
|
|
|
|
Do you know how much pupils move in Berlin and Brandenburg? And if and why some move more than others and on which factors this could depend? The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) would like to get to the bottom of this question together with students from Berlin and Brandenburg with the SMOVE study. SMOVE - Science that makes me move, is a Citizen Science project funded by ORION Open Science. The project aims to carry out an epidemiological study in cooperation with pupils and scientists to record sitting behaviour, activity behaviour, and what the influencing factors are for movement in pupils.

About ORION Open Science
|
The EU-funded ORION Open Science project aims to explore ways in which research performing and research funding organisations in life sciences and biomedicine can open up the way they fund, organise and do research. We will embed Open Science principles in the research process and involve citizens, policy makers and researchers in co-creation experiments, public dialogues, training and citizen science.
Find out more how you can get involved in the ORION project at our website. Don't miss to tune in for our Open Science Podcasts!
