STEM4youth EU project or when research is done with schoolsJosep Perelló
The document describes the STEM4youth EU project, which aims to promote STEM education for youth through interactive courses on key scientific challenges. The project will develop multidisciplinary educational materials and tools centered around mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, engineering and medicine. It will also pilot citizen science projects in schools to involve students in scientific research. The 30-month project involves 10 partners from different European countries and is divided into 10 work packages, including developing content, testing activities, and assessing recommendations.
The document outlines an international astronomy education programme called EU-UNAWE that aims to inspire children ages 4 to 12 from disadvantaged communities about astronomy.

Joint Open Access Statement of 26 Universities of Applied Sciences in FinlandAnna-Kaisa Sjölund
The open access movement started in Finland in the early 2000s within research and library communities. In 2008, Universities of Applied Sciences created an open access repository called Theseus to provide open access to theses and research publications. This led the 26 universities of applied sciences in Finland to develop an open access statement requiring teachers and researchers to archive copies of their published works in open access repositories. The statement aims to improve access, storage, and preservation of scholarly works in a user-friendly manner.

Moshe Talesnik, Towards a ubiquitous good NST education Brussels, Belgium
The document discusses nanotechnology education programs for secondary schools. It analyzes 12 exemplary programs from different European countries based on parameters like whether they are compulsory or optional courses, integrate nanotechnology into other subjects or are standalone, involve virtual or in-person teaching, industry/academic partnerships, and hands-on versus theoretical focus. The analysis finds that while programs vary in their approaches, most involve independent nanotechnology subjects, hands-on teaching with industry/academic support, and aim to engage students and the broader community. The document concludes that to fully realize the potential of nanotechnology education, schools need programs that are both comprehensive and innovative.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Objectives
Students will get an opportunity to:
- get involved in projects led by renowned
scientists in a real context,
- find out first hand what the scientific method
consists of, what research is like, and finally
- to seek their vocation and talent from an early
age.

Editor's Notes
The Project PIIISA is a close collaboration between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Public Andalusian Universities (Granada, Málaga, Sevilla, Córdoba, Cádiz, Almería y Jaén), Education Committees of Junta de Andalucía, and the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). It was created (CSIC, 2010) in response to the new abilities and creativity of the students we have in our schools today, a generation who wants to learn and express what it has learned in a modern, social and active way.
- Promoting knowledge of their region´s scientific heritage- Developing the 8-9 multiple intellingences and the “hands-mind on” approach to the teaching and learning process- Practising of a foreign language (english) as a basic vehicle to communicate research findings- Understanding and performing simple and complex mathematical operations- Using new technologies: scientific packs, programming, databases, etc- Presenting research results in a precise and pleasant way to reach all peers- Working to develop skills both individually and as part of a team- Working hard, synthesising (Darwin) and being creative (Einstein) while adhering to ethical standards
Students tutored by their professors have worked using scientific facilities and learned why science is relevant to economic and social development. The awesome effort and imagination provided by researchers to create stimulating projects have been translated into a remarkable example of educational planning OUTside and INside of the school context.
The different institutions have provided significant human and technical resources, and have managed to start around 300 projects led by 500 scientists, available to 3000 students from 50 High Schools. Selected Oral presentations have been delivered and Posters have been displayed in Six Congresses. Also a yearly edition of a Proceeding book compiling the projects achieved.

STUDENTS- Learn in a new social context outside the school (push their boundaries and interact with other communities of practice) producing positive emotions such as enjoyment that are correlated positively with students´ motivation and interest- Live diverse and strong experiments of identity outside the school that help them to love (appreciate) more their teachers and school- Experience a process of becoming (is not just an accumulation of skills and information). It is not merely formative, it is mainly transformative- Practise what they learn in classrooms awakening their hidden skills - Promote 8-9 multiple intelligences, synthesising, creativity, mathematics, English, communication and ethical standards- Help them to imagine their future through that real scientific mirror - Act as teachers at the end TEACHERS- Offers a window to the real scientific world, where they can learn as much as students, and consequently improve theirs methodologies and curricula- Stimulate teachers to achieve new educational and professional standards- Learn to apply their knowledge in a new context (teachers are generally not research scientists) SCIENTISTS- Working hypothesis venturing into different risky research in a timely manner. Time: one school year. Manner: high school students.- Promote Scientist-Teachers-Students collaborations- It is an investment of a community in its own future as the formation of new identities that can take its history of learning forward- Help in the arrival of new generations of members: motivated students applying already for Thesis in Biology, Astrophysics, etc. Consigue que la Ciencia sea patrimonio de la sociedad al llegar a personas fuera del mundo investigador
