Final conference

The Pollen project held its final European conference on 29 May 2009 in Berlin (Germany) : "New milestones for inquiry-based science education in primary school in Europe".

This conference, hosted by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, provided a platform for discussion on four major issues of inquiry-based science education (IBSE) with key speakers, in view to set a milestone towards the generalisation of such an approach in Europe.

About 170 participants from 25 countries (Europe and beyond) took part in this conference.

Please find below the programme,  the presentations of the key speakers and documents of reference.
