Peter Watkins University of Birmingham The World Conference on Physics Education July 1-6, 2012 Istanbul / Turkey

2 Science Education in Europe: Challenges & Opportunities Reverse declining student interest in Science Re-imagine the science classroom of tomorrow Realise the potential of eScience for engaging students in scientific inquiry Rocard et al. 2007 Osborne & Dilon 2008

3 DtC Contribution To demonstrate how Europe’s e-infrastructures could provide powerful tools for scaling-up current pilot implementations for effective introduction of eScience in the school curriculum and development of effective outreach programmes.

4 DtC Aim I: Community Building TeachersStudentsScientists

5 DtC Aim II: Effective Integration Science Education e-Science Activities Research Infrastructures

6 DtC Aim III: Good Practices Roadmap Science Education e-Science Activities Research Infrastructures

7 DtC Approach eScience Initiatives → offering access to large research infrastructures in Particle Physics & Astronomy eScience Apps in PP → HYPATIA → MINERVA → AMELIA eScience Apps in Astronomy → SalsaJ → LTImage → The ‘Sun for All’ Scientific Archive
