“Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality” - Sir John Holman used this quotation from Goethe to kick-off his conference keynote speech. Whereas it is certainly true for today’s science, science teachers can still feel trapped within the borders of their countries. The Scientix European Conference aimed to break down these barriers and lay the ground for a European community for science education. More than 400 teachers, researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders from over 40 countries gathered in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss the current challenges for science education.
The conference opened with speeches by Mr Robert-Jan Smits, Director-General of the European Commission’s Research and Innovation DG and Sir John Holman from the University of York, UK.
