Laboratory Door Opens to Non-formal Learning Communities. Science Centres as Mediators

The e-KNOWNET is a Lifelong Learning project, which aims to develop an innovative and viable mechanism to facilitate the flow of new scientific knowledge produced in the research laboratory, to larger non-expert segments of society, in forms suitable for non-formal learning, with the use of interactive web-based educational application. This networking and collaboration scheme hopes to provide science centres with learning resources that have been produced based on the latest developments of scientific research, and methodological tools for further production of similar learning materials. These resources will be available on-line and off-line for their visitors.
