Service-Learning (SL) transforms education by integrating academic learning with real-world community engagement. This approach allows students to apply their knowledge while addressing pressing societal issues.

Citizen Science is an approach that actively involves non-researchers in scientific research. Within the EPICS framework, Citizen Science plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between research and civic engagement.

EPICS is an innovative initiative that connects higher education institutions, students, researchers, and local communities. By integrating Citizen Science and Service-Learning, EPICS fosters sustainable partnerships that address real-world challenges through research-based solutions.
