Surrounded by Science is an H2020 EU project that aims to design and develop a systematic evaluation methodology that will shed new light on the impact of out-of-school science learning activities.

Our newsletter, published on a quarterly basis, will keep you informed about the projectʼs progress and results. It will also provide you with the latest news from the world of science education, and engagement with science beyond the classroom. Our special section ʻSciPerspectivesʼ will bring together articles, interviews, and opinion pieces from leading researchers, science educators and communicators, as well as policymakers across Europe and beyond.

In this first issue:

• Our Project Coordinator, Dr. Tessa Eysink, shares the background, vision and ambitious objectives of Surrounded by Science;
• Meet our partners and national contacts;
• SciPerspectives features an interview with Dr. Sherman Rosenfeld on the importance of bridging the gap between formal and informal science learning;
• Check out our latest news and calendar of upcoming events.

We hope that you will find our newsletter both informative and enjoyable and look forward to having you as part of our exciting journey! And donʼt forget to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Surrounded by Science social media by visiting our brand new website!
