Scope. Science, technology and innovation (ST&I) are the main pillars of social and economic development. They are closely linked to the education process since education is fundamental to the personal development of scientists, technologists and innovators. They also contribute to the advancement of education through the development of new tools and technologies that can be used to enhance training and education processes.
Show moreObjectives. The evolution and progress of a society are directly linked to the advancement of science and technology. However, scientific and technological innovations need to be effectively communicated in order to have impact on society. This thematic line aims to foster dialogue between ST&I and education communities in order to develop new communication and collaboration strategies among professionals in these areas.
