The JRC makers-in-residence programme is an annual, short-term research-focused residence hosted by the JRC Makerspace, in the Joint Research Centre's Ispra site, in Italy. The residence is centred around specific concepts and themes directly tied to the science and technology policy topics considered in the Joint Research Centre's Annual Work Programme.

The third edition of the JRC Makers-in-Residence programme is planned for the first quarter of 2024. Makers are selected to develop a tangible outcome (e.g., workshop, prototype, artwork, exhibition), original and re-usable to respond to the challenges in one of the topics proposed: (1) arctic, (2) biodiversidade, (3) bioeconomy, (4) public spaces.

The selected makers are invited to a maximum 10-day funded residency taking place at the JRC Makerspace, located in Ispra, Italy. Please note that some preparatory work will be required to be carried out beforehand, remotely. The deadline for submitting applications is 30 September 2023, 12:00 CET.
