Dear Science in School subscribers,

Many of you may be interested in the forthcoming teacher workshop given by EIROforum, the publisher of Science in School. The deadline for applications is fast approaching, so you will need to apply soon.

This free, three-day course is entitled ‘Physics and chemistry of life’ and is open to European science teachers. It will take place at the European Photon and Neutron Science Campus in Grenoble, France, from 9-12 October 2011.

Participants will attend a series of short lectures and laboratory tutorials in small groups. Time slots are reserved for participants to exchange classroom experience, and for visits to the research laboratories.

The course lectures, tutorials and practicals will be given by top scientists from four of the EIROforum members: the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, the Institute Laue-Langevin and the European X-ray Free Electron Laser.

There are no course fees, and accommodation and food are provided free. Travel costs up to 400 EUR will be covered for the participants.

To apply, visit http://tinyurl.com/eiroschool and upload your CV and an application letter. The deadline is 15 May 2011.

Best regards,
