"This website provides an introduction to digital collections designed for education. They are mainly aimed at university students, researchers and librarians but many of the online archives are open to anyone. The collections cover areas such as history, social sciences, or science and engineering and include, for example, journals, newspapers and images."
More than 100 science academies around the world have called on world leaders to take action on population and consumption at the Rio+20 summit. They say past failures on these issues threaten the natural world and prospects for future generations. The science academies include the UK's Royal Society as well as its peers in countries at all stages of development.
"We want to present students and their teachers with an opportunity to explore Europe as a network of exchanges: in culture and science, in politics and economy...
People in Europe have always corresponded and travelled to exchange their ideas and inventions. And they are still doing so. Every European is part of this ongoing network of European civilization.
We invite you to participatein a contest: do your own research, discover how your town or region is connected to Europe and write an essay on one of the proposed themes like the post, the lens,the portrait, the keyboard or the (secret) Ballot.
Contributions by students will be the beginning of an interactive website on the history of European civilisation, intended for students of upper secondary schools in Europe. The best essays will be awarded. Choose a theme, write for the site and be a part of Europe. "
A half hour animated documentary that covers the science of oil production, resource deletion and growth. Perfect for discussions and lessons about sustainability.
