One of the objectives of the project in the participatory evaluation of the origins of those beliefs and popular perceptions on scientific issues of great importance at the EU level.
This consultation and student participation mechanisms allow the EU student opinions to be taken into account when designing public health or environmental campaigns or programs.

The 500 students will be representatives of their respective universities and will participate, voluntarily, offering their point of view to generate knowledge about beliefs and perceptions of great value for the future construction of the EU.
The project will develop the following outputs:
