Scientix
What is it?
Scientix is the community for the teaching of Sciences in Europe. It is an initiative open to the participation of teachers, researchers, policy makers, local actors, parents and everyone else interested in scientific education.
The project was born to facilitate the constant dissemination and exchange of technical knowledge and practical examples in science teaching in the EU.
Scientix is funded by the European Commission through the 7th Framework Program and managed by the European Schoolnet Network (EUN). The Institute of Technology and Teacher Training (INTEF) acts as national contact point in Spain for this project.

Ambassadors
The Scientix Ambassadors are teachers whose aim is to promote and inform Scientix of other science teachers across Europe.
They present Scientix in educational centers, national teachers' associations, conferences and workshops, and advise other teachers on how to get involved in European STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) collaboration. They also help develop and test various Scientix tools and services to ensure their pedagogical quality.
