Multiplayers’ Partnerships to Ensure Meaningful Engagement with Science and Research

Solutions to societal challenges, such as fighting climate change, require a public that understands science and how it works. The EU-funded MULTIPLIERS project views schools as innovative and open collectors of new ideas, practices and scientific approaches. As such, it will establish Open Science Communities – partnerships between schools, families, civil society organisations, informal education providers, policymakers, the media and a vast range of science institutions in six EU Member States. These communities will develop science projects with real-life challenges as starting points to be implemented in schools. The projects will involve more than 1 500 students who will interact with a broad spectrum of science experts.
