Education and science capital

To ensure and maintain a strong life science ecosystem in Denmark it is important to strengthen the scientific and technical aspirations, knowledge and competencies. We do this through education and outreach.

Our goals are to:

  • Support research in science teaching and learning learning at all educational levels
  • Contribute to the quality of higher and further education within health, natural science and technology
  • Empower teachers and contribute to excellent science education – in childcare centres, primary and lower secondary schools and youth educations
  • Motivate children and young people from all backgrounds to pursue vocational or academic careers within the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
  • Facilitate societal debate and informal learning activities to promote public engagement and democratic citizenship
