Sciences are part of the culture. ENCIENDE, the project about science-school relations of COSCE, aims to highlight the importance of science in the earliest stages of the educational system. It also performs analysis and actions in this direction to achieve a more advanced knowledge society.

The ICOPER project, funded by the European Commission, invites you to participate in a series of five international webinars designed to train the general education public on key concepts driving the design process for implementing standards to support the creation, implementation, and re-use of outcome-based eContent.
