The focus of the symposium is on two expert lectures and two workshops of 90 minutes each, in which teachers work practically and gain experience. Ideas, equipment and recent literature will be presented and discussed at stands in an exchange fair. Institutions from the field of life sciences will introduce themselves.

Two workshops at this symposium are projects presented as part of the European Science on Stage festival held in Turku in August 2024:

  • Die Hefe gibt Gas: Thomi Scheuber - Gymnasium Kirschgarten Basel, Science on Stage Switzerland
  • Molecular Biology in the Classroom: Simon Lewis - The Thomas Hardye School (Dorchester), Science on Stage UK
