Teachers in the lab
EMBO announces first International Practical Workshop for Biology Teachers
Following in the footsteps of last year's very successful EMBO workshop for
German biology teachers, the EMBO initiative goes international on 5 - 6
July 2002 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in
Heidelberg, Germany.
Attracting school teachers from across Europe, the workshop comprises
scientific lectures from leading researchers, practical experiments, an
exhibition of teaching / learning resources and media - from practical kits
to CD roms, and the opportunity to experience the international research
environment of the EMBL. "The workshop contributes towards crucially
necessary efforts to raise standards in biology education at a European
level" remarked Dr Andrew Moore, workshop co-organiser, and Programme
Manager for Science & Society at EMBO. "It is extremely important to have
more opportunities in Europe for teachers to meet at international level,
update their professional knowledge and exchange ideas and examples of best
practise, above all in the practical side of science."
