Wageningen University, 12-14 October 2006

The first meeting of the NGS Wageningen-Durham link was hosted by Wageningen University on 12-14 October 2006 with senior academics and young researchers contributing to a three-day programme. Young science students on track for higher education (17 years old) and their science teachers have been selected from schools in the Wageningen and Durham areas.

The themes of the Wageningen programme are ‘Food in the modern world’ and ‘Adapting to the changing environment’.

Evaluation
Using questionnaires and interviews we will map the perceptions of students and teachers before and after the Wageningen-Durham, to see if their outlook has become more international and whether their views of science and research have changed as a result of their participation in the programme. The outcomes will be used to identify areas of improvement and further development.
