Sometimes questions exist within our society that demand scientific research to be answered, but for which a research budget is not available (and a search on Google or ChatGPT does not give an answer). For these questions, the science shop exists! Together with bachelor and master students from Groningen (the Netherlands), the science shop carries out research studies for free. In this way, students learn about conducting research from which citizens and societal organizations can benefit. In short, this is a ‘win-win situation’.

All of our research benefits society directly.
All Science Shops of the University of Groningen perform society-focused research for various (non-profit) organisations. Together with our four other science shops, we cover nearly all research questions that somebody can think of.
Do not hesitate to send us an e-mail ([email protected]).
We will try to find an answer for you.
Please send us an e-mail ([email protected]).
You can often conduct the research project as part of your thesis or internship, or you can receive study credits for it.
Also, contact us if you are curious about a research question or when you want to know more about the science shop.
Feel free to email us ([email protected]) so we can get to know each other and explore how we can strengthen one another.
