Schools
Research communities can play a key role in improving the quality of the national educational system and promoting the transfer of knowledge “from laboratories to the classrooms”, with the ultimate goal of raising the scientific cultural level in the school system.
Thanks to its multidisciplinary nature, Cnr has activated a dense network of partnerships with educational institutions at all levels, in accordance with a framework agreement signed in 2012 with the Ministry of Education, University and Research (Miur).
These initiatives are in accordance with the open education’s principles recently reaffirmed by the European Commission, considering the ‘open access’ approach as an opportunity for educational organizations, teachers and students.
"Meet Research To Connect Science And Society "- Co.Science
Cnr coordinates the Co.Science project, aimed at bridging the gap between science and society by promoting research and innovation, making scientific education attractive to young people, and providing researchers with effective communication tools to engage citizens. The project is supported by a strong consortium of key players in research, academia, science education, public interaction, and municipalities in Lombardy, integrating formal and informal contexts
