Today has been amazing. I really didn’t
know that when you see people in the
third world on the tele they rely on
scientists and engineers to help them... I
really want to do this when I am older

35. EDUCATE
Why is NanoDiode relevant for the European
nanodioalogue and outrach?
• Robust education strategy and action plan
Best practices based on experience with NT
education
• Education activities
“The great aim of education is not knowledge
but action”
(H. Spencer)
Series of education activities on secondary
education, follow up on the best practices
identified
RRI: “Creative Learning and Fresh Ideas”
„Creative thinking calls for science education as a means to make change
happen” (EU 2012 – RRI)

36. Engage in Nanotechnology
Dialogue: Questions & Answers
What is YOUR opinion?
 Can I trust the use of a product/object
manufactured by Nanotechnology?
If you wish to address this
 The risk communication has to be a genuinely
two-way process with various interest groups

systematic program of scientific evaluation
• online communities for girls and young women who are interested
in STEM
• Each girl is matched with a personal mentor
• Mentors are female academics and professionals who are active in
STEM
• All participants are volunteers

48. How does CyberMentor work and
what does it offer?
• Exchange takes place online in a members-only platform
• Communicate via email, chat, and discussion forums
• Communication infrastructure allows even younger female students to
learn more about STEM as early as possible
• Girls in their final years of secondary schooling receive helpful tips that
help them make university study and career decisions
• CyberMentor is effective: Participants who have already made decisions
about what to study at university, 71% chose a STEM subject

66. ASSIST-ME
Assess Inquiry in Science, Technology and
Mathematics Education.
A collaborative research project (2013-16) with the overall aim to provide a research
base on effective uptake of formative and summative assessment for inquiry-based,
competence oriented Science, Technology and Mathematics (STM) education.
Key elements:
• Selection of key STM competences linked to inquiry based education
• Design af assessment methods able to capture the competences
• Development of research designs able to produce valid and reliable data from the
use of the assessment methods
• Implementation of the assesment methods in STM classrooms on all educational
levels
• Classroom based action research with focus on barriers and possibilities for using
the assessment methods
• Involvement of key stakeholders in the whole project

67. FaSMEd
Formative assessment in Science and
Mathematics Education
This collaborative project (2014-2016) with eight partners from Europe and South
Africa aims to foster high quality interactions in classrooms in participating
countries that are instrumental in raising achievement and which support teachers
in enabling all students to:
Learn more science and mathematics - Get better at learning science and
mathematics - Feel better about themselves as science and mathematics students
This design research project will:
• Produce a toolkit for teachers to support the development of practice in science
and mathematics education
• Produce a professional development resource that exemplifies the use of the
toolkit
• Offer approaches for the use of new technologies to support formative
assessment in mathematics and science
• Develop sustainable assessment and feedback practices that improve
attainment in mathematics and science.

In 2012 in the EU 46% PhD
holders were women, but they
only represented 33% of
researchers

122. Women continue to be under-represented in research!
