The European Children’s University Network proudly announces the formation of an advisory board - the Scientific Board. It’s a group of “critical friends” that shall accompany the EUCU.NET within various stages of the project and is composed out of five international scientists from different fields of research.

As a multi-disciplinary and international body, the Scientific Board will support the consortium members over the course of the project with exchange of ideas and feedback. Their thoughts will accompany EUCU.NET. The Scientific Board is called upon to formulate current questions and to offer stimuli for all members in the network.

International Expertise

The five members of the Scientific Board possess expertise in the areas of knowledge and science communication and science events and function as external monitors and counsellors for EUCU.NET.
