Your Research. Your Story. Your Impact.

The MCYR 2025 Blog Writing Competition “Your Research, Your Story” invites conference participants to move beyond the abstract and communicate their work through compelling, real-world stories.

This competition is organised by the MCYR Conference Team in collaboration with four of our European projects: OSIRIS, COMUNIDAD, BIO-CAPITAL, and AgriSci-UA.

What’s It About?

If your abstract is accepted at MCYR 2025, you are eligible to participate in the Blog Writing Competition. Your task is to write a 500–800 word narrative that explains your research in accessible, story-driven language, highlighting why it matters, what problem it addresses, and how it connects to one of the following project themes:

Competition Topics

  • OSIRIS – Open Science and Research Integrity Promoting transparency, reproducibility, and trust in scientific practice through open methodologies and data sharing.
  • COMUNIDAD – Geospatial Intelligence for Community Resilience Using satellite data, AI, and mapping tools to strengthen local responses to environmental and climate challenges.
  • BIO-CAPITAL – Innovative Monitoring and Financing of Biodiversity Leveraging space-based technologies and novel tools to assess, value, and support biodiversity conservation.
  • AgriSci-UA – Applied Agri-Tech Innovation and Pre-Commercial Research Advancing early-stage technologies and applied science to support the future of sustainable agriculture.

Each entry should focus on the human, societal, or environmental relevance of the research, written in a way that could be understood and appreciated by a non-specialist audience.
