European network of regional projects for school partnerships on climate change research (CARBOSCHOOLS+)

CarboSchools+ proposes to link carbon science laboratories with secondary schools to develop partnerships where young Europeans learn and conduct experiments about climate research and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In partnership projects, scientists and teachers co-operate over several months to give young people a practical experience of research through real-time experiments, site visits, debates etc. A final output (article, exhibition) shares the findings with parents, friends, community etc. The SchoolCO2web offers a database with CO2-concentrations and atmospheric conditions collected by the associated measuring stations. This database can be used by scientists as well as teachers and pupils and of course the level of complexity of the research can be adapted according to the wishes of the user. The project is greenhouse gas emission oriented, yet offers a nice example of science-education cooperation that could be extended to adaptation.
