Educational campaign “Physics and Ecology”

At the Silesian University of Technology, an educational campaign “Physics and Ecology” addressed to secondary school youth is underway. There is also the opportunity to participate in interesting lectures and workshops.

The educational campaign is co-organized by the Institute of Physics - Centre for Science and Education, Faculty of Energy and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation, and the Centre of Climate and Environment Protection of the Silesian University of Technology. This is a series of events, consisting of on-line lectures entitled “Physics and climate” and measurement workshops “Physics for ecology.” Interested teachers and pupils are invited to familiarize themselves with the offer of lectures and workshops available here.

As part of the educational campaign, a nationwide competition named after Prof. Mieczysław F. Pazdur "Physics and Ecology” is also organised.

This year’s XXVII edition of the competition took place on March 22. Twenty works were qualified for the finals, participants showed a high level of research skills and interpretation of the results. The aim of the competition is to stimulate interest among school pupils in the use of physical methods in environmental research.
