In this series, we share short interviews to introduce you to the diverse partners contributing to our LUMEN vision.

Learn, Connect, Innovate.

We’re hosting a series of creative co-design workshops to shape LUMEN, a new open-science discovery platform built on trust, usability, and collaboration. Researchers across Mathematics, Molecular Dynamics, Earth Systems, and Social Sciences & Humanities—from PhD students to Professors—are invited to share their perspectives and help design functionalities that truly support their needs. Running from October to December 2025, these interactive 2-hour workshops offer a friendly space to connect, innovate, and co-create the future of research discovery.
