Workshops & Talks
FeniceLab believes that hands-on learning and open dialogue are the heartbeat of innovation. Through interactive workshops and engaging talks, we empower people of all backgrounds to explore scientific concepts, learn practical skills, and collaborate on ideas that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Why hand-On Learning Matter
We believe that theory becomes far more meaningful when it intersects with practical experience. That’s why our Workshops & Talks emphasize a “learn by doing” approach. Participants don’t just listen; they build, test, and discover in real time. This interactive environment fosters deeper understanding and sparks the curiosity that leads to transformative ideas. We see knowledge as a catalyst for personal freedom and a means to broaden one’s horizons, rather than relying solely on traditional institutions or large corporations. Instead, FeniceLab seeks to cultivate a community of grassroots researchers—people who collaborate, share resources, and develop fresh ideas outside conventional channels. This “learn by doing” ethos fosters deeper understanding, sparks curiosity, and empowers individuals to carve their own path in the pursuit of breakthroughs.
Topics We’re Exploring
DIY Biotech
From culturing microorganisms to setting up at-home experiments in genetics and molecular biology.
Sustainable Practices & Self-Sufficiency
Workshops on cultivating fungi, biomaterials, creating organic fertilizers, or building small-scale eco-systems.
Community Science & Citizen Research
Engaging the public in data collection, resource sharing, and local project initiatives. By sharing methodologies and resources, we aim to help local communities establish autonomous labs, enabling them to address issues that matter most in their own environments.
Open-Source Tools & Methods
Hands-on sessions that pair perfectly with our open-source hardware, teaching you how to assemble, calibrate, or customize your devices.
How to Participate
All our workshops are currently held in-person at partner labs, community spaces, or rural hubs across Europe, with social media content provided to keep our broader audience informed and engaged. While we love diving deep into scientific topics, we also believe every field of knowledge is essential for building a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Multidisciplinarity is key at FeniceLab, so we’re open to events about art, design, social issues, philosophy and more. If you have a workshop idea or a talk proposal or you’d like FeniceLab to host an event in your city, feel free to reach out. While we’re primarily active in Europe at the moment, our vision is apolide and global—wherever the right conditions exist, we can coordinate and bring the FeniceLab experience to new places.
Support & Donation
Keeping workshops accessible and inclusive requires resources—equipment, materials, venue costs, and more. If you’d like to support a particular session or simply contribute to the general pool, you can make a targeted donation or sponsor an event. Your help ensures that learning remains open to everyone, driving forward FeniceLab’s mission of democratizing research and innovation.
