Nitrogen: from science to society Maria Amélia Martins-Loução Full Professor Plant-Soil Ecology Group, cE3c Nitrogen (N): from Science to Society is a science communication project focused in raising students’ awareness on N issues. It can be divided in two parts: one, empiric, where a public consultation has been performed and analysed, using the focus group method, to tackle teachers understanding about N threats. The data collected served as a driver of the second part. This second part is a proposal to Horizon 2020, following the call Science with and for Society. This proposal aims to raise student’s awareness of the different aspects encompassing science and technology of nitrogen (N) in biosphere in their societal content. To reach that outcome the proposal promotes a cross-cutting interaction between the different levels of education system, research and school institutions, as well as parents’ association, and other civic society organisations. The innovation of this proposal stands on the following priorities: (i) boost quality in teaching, (ii) provide learning strategies to promote students awareness of the importance of trans-disciplinary approach, and (iii) develop students’ dissemination skills towards an active citizenship change about N threats. 4ª feira, 22 de Abril de 2015 FCUL (Edif.
