GIREP-EPEC 2009 International Conference

The 2009 GIREP-EPEC Conference will be hosted by the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Leicester, between August 17th - 21st.

The GIREP conference is the main international event in the field of Physics Education. Conferences are held every two years bringing together participants from all over the world, ready to share their experiences and research work in an interesting and rewarding domain.

This year, the Physics Innovations Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (πCETL) is pleased to host the GIREP-EPEC joint meeting. The theme of the conference is Community and Cooperation which we intend as providing an emphasis both on modes of collaborative learning and on collaboration between institutions to share good practice and to enhance the student learning experience. Obviously, highlighting these topics does not mean underestimating or neglecting other important aspects of physics education research and practice. GIREP-EPEC 2009 will be a great opportunity not only to present the results of your work, but also to communicate and discuss topics of common interest with other colleagues.
