Visitors are invited to stop by the booth to learn about a variety of activities for students and to learn more about science-school collaboration. Teachers who would like to delve deeper into the topic of Citizen Science at schools can attend the lecture "Citizen Science: School classes join [...] research! With Citizen Science, schoolchildren can contribute to current research questions themselves. Numerous projects as well as the Citizen Science Award, an annual research competition, invite students to observe the animal and plant world, explore Austrian political participation and make other relevant contributions to science and research. In this presentation you will learn more about the OeAD's
in February and March of this year, it is expected that the sanctioned Hungarian universities will have limited possibilities to participate.
