The event will take place in Tunisia, probably in the city of Hammamet, between 24 and 28 November 2025.

Supported by the DAAD and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt), this Winter School brings together highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students from Tunisia, Morocco and Germany. The aim is to explore how Citizen Science can drive digital transformation and sustainable change management in the region.

The scholarships attempt to cover all expenses that arise for mobility and stay resulting from the partici-pation in the event. The call is open to duly enrolled students at SUAS, TEK-UP, or Ibn Tofail university, with priority given to those studying subjects related to the seminar’s theme and proving engagement in social & civic activities.

For German participants, departure from Frankfurt to Tunisia will be on November 23. Full attendance at the event is required.
