arctic circle1EDU-ARCTIC & ERIS Project Manager Dr. Agata Goździk presented the EDU-ARCTIC project at the recent Arctic Circle Assembly during the breakout session "The educating of mid-latitudinal countries on climate change through art and science" on October 8th.

Dr. Goździk shared her experience from working on the EDUSCIENCE project, which was the largest innovative project implemented in Poland in the field of mathematical and natural sciences, and talked about the ideas underlying EDU-ARCTIC.

On 27 September at White House Arctic Science Ministerial Side-Event two panel discussions with international Arctic leaders explored the role that Arctic research plays in the empowerment of Arctic communities and to inspire learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The EDU-Arctic project was showcased at the event.

The online discussion surrounding the event used the hashtag #ArcticSciEd.

The Edu-Arcitc presentation was showcased at Arctic Science Ministerial Side-Event.

edu workshop 1

From September 16th to 19th, the EDU-ARCTIC consortium will hold a Methodological Workshop on Norway's Svalbard archipelago. The workshop will be hosted by the Institute of Geophysics PAS, the leader of the project.

This workshop comes right before the main part of the project - starting to implement the program at schools – is set to begin.

Over the past 20 years, there has been growing interest in science education in most European countries, as well as around the world. Such policies usually have a dual purpose: to promote science literacy among all young people (and even adults) and attract young people to science and the disciplines of technology in secondary and higher education, with the aim of encouraging them to move to science and technology professions and/or research-scientific careers.

What is science communication and how to perform it effectively? – over 150 project coordinators in Horizon 2020 programme were looking for answers for these questions last Sunday (24th July 2016). Manchester Town Hall hosted the Science Communication Event, organized by the European Commission. Experts from various media were advising how to tell the project story to get the audience involved.

What are the aims of the good communication?

to inform → to interest → to inspire → to activate.
