Line Laursen Corydon

Line Laursen Corydon is an Academic Staff member at the University Library of Southern Denmark, affiliated with the Department of Teaching and Dissemination TAP and the SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center. Her work bridges library science and public research engagement, focusing on collaborative knowledge creation with educational institutions.

Her research centers on citizen science applications in secondary education and climate action, emphasizing co-creation with high school students. Key interests include project planning frameworks, student motivation in scientific inquiry, and the role of academic libraries in facilitating public participation. Much of her work operates within the Danish educational context, addressing regional challenges like lake ecology and climate adaptation.

Analysis of her 2021–2025 publications reveals consistent interdisciplinary innovation: integrating artificial intelligence with climate storytelling (CFF: Climate Future Fiction), developing student-centered citizen humanities curricula (INSPIRE), and creating practical project guides for libraries. Her work uniquely connects environmental science, education theory, and public engagement methodologies.

Laursen Corydon actively leads and participates in externally funded research initiatives:

• FUSION (2025–2028): Coordinating cross-border climate envisioning with youth in the Danish-German region using AI and co-creation.
• Lakes in leisure (2021–2025, Villum Foundation): Public water sampling projects for lake ecology monitoring.
• CFF: Climate Future Fiction (2022–2025): Head-coordinating AI-driven climate narratives with high school students.

As a core member of the SDU Citizen Science Knowledge Center, she collaborates with high schools, researchers, and public institutions to scale citizen science nationally. Her projects like A Healthier Southern Denmark demonstrate sustained partnerships with educational stakeholders to address real-world challenges through co-created research.
