La Babel Académie vous accueille pour deux jours d’atelier immersif afin de comprendre comment journalistes et chercheurs peuvent collaborer autour des thématiques du crime organisé et des biens confisqués par la justice.

(An Immersion: how journalists and researchers can help each other to study and cover organized crime. The Babel Academy welcomes you for two days of immersive workshops to understand how journalists and researchers can collaborate on the themes of organized crime and assets confiscated by the justice system.)

This workshop is funded and organized through the COESO project. COESO aims to develop and sustain citizen science research in the social sciences and humanities.

International funders will come together at this workshop to discuss how their agendas address the need for more SSH citizen science research. Effective research funding programs contribute to the diversity of citizen engagement within research to help solve societal challenges. Today’s pressing issues require well-rounded approaches, such as employing citizen science methodologies, and they benefit from incorporating a variety of disciplines and knowledge bases, including those found in the social sciences and humanities. By creating calls that specifically support the contributions that social sciences & humanities citizen science practices offer, funders push the frontiers of science to better serve society.
