Strategic Focus
Since its creation in 1997, the GECEM group has dedicated to support the education of teachers in the natural sciences area and the education of human scientific talent at the level of master's and doctoral degrees in natural sciences education and mathematics. Among the new fields of intervention, there is one related to education in museums and interactive centers. This field of intervention has done an outstanding work with museum institutions in the city and region.
