STEM Discovery Week 2018 is a joint international initiative that invites projects, organisations and schools across Europe and around the world, to celebrate careers and studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The tagline for this

  We are pleased to announce that you can still sign up for online lessons in English and test ERIS educational packages! Look at the list below to find new dates to enrol and test ERIS packages:   Glaciers –

Seismology is a multidisciplinary science using knowledge from other disciplines, like geology, tectonics, physic and mathematic. The biggest challenge for seismologists is to elaborate earthquakes forecasting algorithm. Forecasting earthquakes means estimate time, location and strength of earthquakes with enough accuracy.

The lesson will be conducted as a guest webinar via EDU-ARCTIC Project, 6.12.15, 8.00 UTC. Online lesson “Ultraviolet radiation – is it always an enemy?” allows to answer questions: what UV radiation is and what factors influence natural radiation from

  The lesson will be conducted as a guest webinar via EDU-ARCTIC Project, 5.12.15, 10.00 UTC. It aims to increase knowledge of the glaciers, beyond standard school textbooks. It consist of a general part – the introduction of substantive information

The numerical model MIMOSA allows to understand and predict the dynamics of the wind, vortex and the transport of air masses in the polar stratosphere (high altitude, 12-25 km). This package will use MIMOSA maps to make understandable these notions.

SODISM is a kind of camera onboard the satellite Picard in orbit around the Earth. SODISM regularly takes photos of the Sun to study its atmosphere. We will use these images obtained during the transit of Venus (passage of Venus

The Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) instrument to measure the parameters needed to understand physics and chemistry in the atmosphere. By analogy with common things, we will understand two important parts in the operation of the Lidar, measuring the distance

Understanding the concept of climate The general public is familiar with the notion of weather conditions, commonly known as “weather”, and weather forecasting on a few days scale. The weather is characterized by several atmospheric parameters of which the best
