What we do?
We meet and discuss all aspects of geoscience education, with a particular focus on Geoscience Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). This is a research field that develops evidence-based knowledge and practices that improve teaching and learning in science. The network is a place to get inspired, share ideas, and work together towards improving geoscience education.
