Marie Skłodowska-Curie’s birthday kick starts a year of science outreach activities
|
|
|
|
MSCA celebrates the life of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, encouraging the public to take an active role in science, with initiatives that support researchers, scientists, and schoolchildren
|
|
Today marks the 155th anniversary of the birth of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, the first person, and sole woman, to have received a Nobel Prize twice. The European Commission takes the opportunity to celebrate her curiosity and achievements by launching several initiatives to strengthen the bonds between the worlds of science and education. Through Science is Wonderful! and the recently launched “Researchers at Schools” initiative, both funded by European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), teachers and pupils from all over Europe are able to discover the wonders and value of science by interacting with leading researchers and innovators.
This year, Science is Wonderful! will also give teachers a unique opportunity to team up with leading MSCA researchers across the EU to co-create new learning resources. In March 2023, Science is Wonderful! will host a science fair in Brussels, Belgium, inviting 100 MSCA researchers from across Europe to showcase their research through presentations, hands-on experiments, games and quizzes, offering pupils the chance to learn, ask questions and plan their future as young scientists. Finally, in the next two years, the “Researchers at Schools” initiative will allow 2,400 primary and secondary schools and 225,000 pupils in many countries to discover researchers’ work through practical and fun activities, visits to labs, and more.
Discover the science outreach opportunities available for you and your MSCA project.
