25 April-7 May 2023 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Advancing our understanding of the biological processes shaping the interactions between organisms and the environment will inform solutions for sustaining our planet\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EMBL\u2019s Science Education and Public Engagement team, in collaboration with Merck, invites secondary school science teachers to explore this exciting area of biology in a virtual training course this spring. The course \u201cExploring ecosystems down to the molecular level: a scientific voyage\u201d presents new ways researchers use to study life in its context and engaging ways of bringing the topic into the classroom. It introduces a collaborative scientific approach, the TRaversing European Coastlines (TREC) expedition, that has the potential to drive the field’s development and shape a new era in ecosystems\u2019 exploration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The course presents a collection of teaching and learning material, including a game-based resource to introduce and engage students on the topic of changing environments. The two-week course runs from 25 April to 7 May 2023 <\/strong>and is free of charge. The workload is designed to fit a busy teacher\u2019s schedule, and the participants receive a certificate of attendance. The course language is English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
