Exciting News from EPI•STEM! 🌟 Introducing our new IRCET funded postdoctoral fellowship project: Digital Learning in Science Education: Teaching and Assessment of Scientific Inquiry with a focus on Physics and the Physical World. As science education in Ireland undergoes rapid changes, we're developing innovative online resources to support both Junior and Senior Cycle students and teachers. We invite science teachers to sign up on our website to access the platform's full functionality and accompanying materials. If you would like to know more about the project, or to sign up to become involved in the roll out of the digital resources, please contact Helen Fitzgerald on helen.fitzgerald@ul.ie. #ScienceEducation #DigitalLearning #STEM #TeachingInnovation #EPISTEM @Ul-SchoolofEducation(SoE) @DepartmentofEducation-ireland @SchoolofEducationUniversityofLimerick @HigherEducationAuthority @GeraldineMooneySimmie @OliviaFitzmaurice Helen Fitzgerald

🌟 A big thank you to Mr. Attiq Iqbal for his insightful seminar on "PhD Opportunities in Ireland," hosted at Air University in Islamabad, Pakistan! 🌟 Mr. Iqbal's presentation was both informative and inspiring, shedding light on the exciting research and PhD opportunities available at the EPISTEM center. His dedication to fostering academic connections and sharing knowledge is truly commendable. We are grateful for his efforts in introducing EPISTEM to a broader audience and helping aspiring scholars explore new horizons in their academic journeys. Here's to building more bridges in the world of education and research! 🌍📚 Mr. Attiq Iqbal is a PhD researcher in the Department of Maths & Stats at the University of Limerick.
