Our projects
At Science Shop Vechta/Cloppenburg we mainly work on projects. They are funded by third parties like the European Union, federal ministries or by foundations. Professors at the University of Vechta are responsible for the scientific project leadership and scientific staff work on the projects. They contribute their expertise in research. The special thing about Science Shop projects, however, is that citizens and people from other professional backgrounds also contribute their expertise to the projects.
