Scientific Facilitation & Process Support for Engaged Research

The office city2science has extensive experience in the design, facilitation and support of participatory and transdisciplinary research processes. Drawing on many years of work at the interface of science, society and policy, we combine conceptual reflection with hands-on facilitation practice.

city2science supports research projects, universities, research consortia and institutions in the planning, implementation and reflection of engaged and participatory research processes. Our focus lies on the design of collaboration, the strategic engagement of societal stakeholders and the facilitation of dialogue and co-creation across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.

We work closely with research teams to create structured, inclusive and outcome-oriented processes that are realistic, context-sensitive and aligned with scientific as well as societal goals.
