Description
CERN is one of the oldest European intergovernmental organisations. In summer 1953, the final draft of the CERN Convention was agreed upon and it laid out the ways its Member States would contribute, as well as its commitment to the dissemination of the research results, international peaceful collaboration, and the education of the scientists of tomorrow.
From Mach’s first definition of the “Nature of Science” to today’s challenges, the field of science education has evolved significantly and its importance for future generations has grown. This presentation will highlight the Organization’s current involvement in education and its research including links to national efforts, as well as science outreach, and give a personal outlook and ideas for science education on an international scale.
