Science Education

Formerly known as European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences

Our inspiring educational experiences share the scientific discoveries of EMBL with young learners aged 10-19 years and teachers in Europe and beyond. We belong to EMBL’s Science Education and Public Engagement office.

TeachingBASE

The EMBL TeachingBASE is a collection of STEM teaching modules designed for teachers and young learners, developed by EMBL science education experts and scientists.

The materials are freely available but each module carries a creative commons copyright.
