Six good reasons to register for Science is Wonderful! Live

  1. Science is Wonderful! Live is a dedicated videoconferencing platform, allowing you to create interactive exchanges with teachers and pupils.
  2. You are free to decide your availability. You may be present for a few hours only, for a day or two, or for the whole week. You don’t need to know your precise availabilities at this stage because you can fill in your virtual calendar later on the platform.
  3. Your dedicated researcher profile on the platform will share information such as your language, your field of research, and the age of the pupils you’d like to talk to. Teachers from all over the EU will research profiles and send requests in advance of the event’s week.
  4. We need native speakers in all EU languages among our MSCA researchers and alumni.
  5. No specific compulsory preparation is required on your side, except to liaise with the teachers before the talk with the pupils. However, we encourage you to think beforehand of a nice hands-on experiment, a do-it-yourself activity or a quiz/game to show your work in an entertaining way.
