Conditions for participating teams
The number of participants is limited to 2-5 students and 1-2 teachers from one school. Students must be at least 12 years old, and knowledge of English is required. GLOBE country coordinators and teachers without student teams are also invited.
Students will present their research during the Student Conference. Each team prepares a presentation about their research project, including their research question, hypothesis, research plan, experiment and results.
This year we encourage school teams to connect their research to climate change. In their presentation students will try to answer the following questions:
- How is our project related to climate change?
- Does our project address the causes or effects of climate change at the local level (drought, greenery in the city, transport to school...)? If so, how?
Students will receive feedback from scientists after presenting your project.
Participation fee
- 50 EUR/person (including charge for Thursday lunch and snacks)
- All teams will arrange travel and accommodation in Prague independently.
- Meals: Participants will arrange breakfasts and dinners independently as well as lunch after Friday field day. We will arrange Thursday lunch and snacks.
