CSRC

Horizon 2020: Cyprus Science and Research Centre (CSRC)

CSRC was a TEAMING project within the Horizon 2020 framework. The project involved four international partners as well as seven Cypriot universities. The aim in phase I was to lay the groundwork for establishing a Center for Science Education Research in Cyprus. The Center was to foster leadership in research and development of smart technology, interactive educational tools and exhibits in order to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The aim in phase II was to implement the Center for Science Education Research as a focus for the integration of high quality science education research in Cyprus.

The Department of Science Education contributed research-based knowledge about the state of the art of science centres as well as visions for the future. Further, the Department drew on experience with past projects to help shape the business plan for CSRC as well as its cutting-edge research themes.
Phase I of the CSRC project ran 2017-2018; an application for phase II was submitted in 2019, shortlisted, but ultimately, not funded.Project group at DSE
