About this Call:
The European Commission has published a call for a "European Science Education Initiative" within the chapter "Science and Society" of the 6th European Framework Program. With a budget of € 7 Mio., the European Commission wants to support a single project or a number of projects which will be clustered.
The call has been published on 1 March 2003 and will close on 8 October 2003.
Excerpt from the work program "Science & Society":
"4.3.4.3 Promoting young people’s interest in science, enhancing science education and monitoring scientific careers.
a) Establish a pan-European initiative to enhance science teaching in schools, to raise the interest and motivation of boys and girls in science and technology.
Implementation in 2003: The focus will be on providing a mechanism for allowing science teachers, science professionals, education specialists and associated expertise from across Europe to exchange ideas, techniques, and methods to supplement existing science curricula and educational strategies in order to increase the attractiveness and relevance of science studies at schools. The action must involve existing science teachers networks and the use of internet resources to ensure the widest possible dissemination of the shared and newly acquired knowledge among the science teaching profession and associated professions. Proposals must provide an openly accessible resource infrastructure.
Applicants must also be able to demonstrate an understanding of how science is taught, and must be able to combine expertise across relevant professions (science education, research, technology, industry). Proposals should take a broad view of science, including its social context.
It is envisaged to support an integrated approach, either through a single project, or a number of projects which will be clustered. "
The work program as well as the other documents relevant for this call can be downloaded from the CORDIS-Server.
