World Conference on Science and Technology Education Standing Committee

Message from Chair:

Elaine Horne, elaine.horne@dec.wa.gov.au

Welcome to the website of the World Conference on Science and Technology Education. The recent series of ICASE World Conferences were conceived by Dr Robin Groves and the first was held in Penang, Malaysia (2003). Since then, they have been held approximately every three years: Perth, Australia, (2007), Tartu, Estonia (2010) and in 2013 will be held in Kuching, Borneo.

ICASE BORNEO 2013

The World Conferences bring together policy makers, curriculum developers, scientists, science and university educators and researchers, science teacher association officers and of course primary and secondary science teachers.

As well as the usual conference sessions, the World Conference organisers timetable discussion sessions for all delegates which lead to the development of a Conference Declaration. The Declaration makes recommendations for world progress in science and technology education for the following three years. In Kuching, a separate Conference Declaration will be made on the Environment.

Please check the conference website for information and involvement. We are particularly interested in offering a special arrangement for groups who can bring 200+ delegates, those who would like to support the Conference and Exhibitors. A Call for Papers will be advertised on the website in 2012.

Please join us for a most exciting, challenging and exotic experience.
