Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Final Impact Assessment Report and Selected Best Practices (opens in new window)

The report will offer the final outcomes of the assessment and the extended matrix.

Research Methodology and Plan (opens in new window)

This document will provide the scientific guidelines and overall approach to the research activities describing the procedures and techniques that will help the project to identify and analyze the needed information about the successful design of outofschool science activities

Report on Communication and Dissemination Activities (opens in new window)

Report containing the updated dissemination plan for the second half of the project and detailing the dissemination and communication activities and events of the reporting period and tools and measures of their success including the Surrounded by Science community

Inventory of Activities (opens in new window)

Inventory of Activities and Selected Case Studies This inventory will be an overview database of identified outofschool science activities that can be sorted by the category and type of activity and their location

Initial Impact Assessment Report and Selected Best Practices (opens in new window)

In this deliverable, a description of the evaluation of case studies and the input for the extended Surrounded by Science matrices will be given. (including nature and effects of activities within all categories of activities).

Towards a connected science learning ecosystem (opens in new window)

This document will present the outcomes of the proof of concepts experiments related to the contributions of out-of-school science education to formal education.

2nd short policy brief (opens in new window)

This will be a short document (around 2 pages). The introduction will be pre-filled by EC and will be based on the Work Programme topic description (challenge and impact). In the various sections will described how the project is answering this challenge/realising the expected impact.

Plan for the Communication and Dissemination of Results (opens in new window)

Comprehensive plan outlining the dissemination and communication strategy planning activities and events and measurements criteria

Conceptual Design of the Science Booster app (opens in new window)

Backend Infrastructure: This deliverable includes the central data storage and the web-based front end to manage and fill the central data storage with the information needed by the Science Chaser and the Science Booster. As both interfaces will be offered in several languages, the needed content can be entered in multiple languages. The infrastructure will be updated to incorporate the additional features and developments of the two interfaces in the two implementation phases of the research (phase 2 and phase 3 in Figure 1.3.5). Final version at the end of the project M36

Communication and Dissemination Materials (opens in new window)

Dissemination materials to be developed and used by the consortium over the course of the project Examples of such material are the Surrounded by Science brochure the factsheet and the newsletter template M6

Research Implementation Plan (opens in new window)

This document will provide the plan to guide the research implementation in each country It will detail the responsibilities of the national coordinators and organizes the overall work

Roadmap for Designing Effective out-of-school Science Activities (opens in new window)

The key publication of the project describing the main steps and provisions for the development of innovative out-of-school learning activities. M36

Conceptual Design of the Science Chaser app (opens in new window)

Conceptual Design and Requirements of the Digital Toolbox This deliverable describes the conceptual design including Task Analysis and Possible Scenarios of Use of the Digital Toolbox

Initial Implementation Plan (opens in new window)

The Initial Implementation Report will report the activities implemented for each case study in each country in the first months of the implementation. M24

Final Implementation Report (opens in new window)

The Final Implementation Report will report the activities implemented for each case study in each country at the end of the project.

Quality Management Plan (opens in new window)
Context Analysis and Considerations for the Accreditation Scheme (opens in new window)

Surrounded by Science research has been designed to contribute to the development of an accreditation scheme for out-of-school science education, at least for programmes that are designed with specific participants’ learning outcomes in mind. The project will describe the context and the necessity of such a scheme, not only for the support and recognition of the out-of-school learning organisations but also for the support of the current educational policies, at EU level. M36
