Earth Day 2024 - GLOBE Student Conference in the Czech Republic

 

We cordially invite students and teachers to join the GLOBE Student Conference that will take place on 22 April 2024 at the Jan Palach Grammar School in Mělník, Czech Republic (see map). 

This event provides a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with other GLOBE teams, gain new experience and knowledge, as well as initiate inter-school collaborations. 

Come and share the results of your research with students from the Czech Republic and other countries, learn from scientists’ feedback and celebrate Earth Day! 

 

Program and organizational information 

GLOBE Student Conference 2024 consists of student presentations of school projects and a project market. For more information, please check the Program. 

 

Conditions for participants 

The number of participants is limited to 2-5 students and 1-2 teachers from one school. Students must be at least 12 years old, and knowledge of English is required. GLOBE country coordinators and teachers without student teams are also invited.  

Students will present their research during the Student Conference. Each team prepares a presentation about their research project, including their research question, hypothesis, research plan, experiment and results.  

This year we encourage school teams to connect their research to the Birthday of Planet Earth and the GLOBE Program - Earth Day. In your presentation, please try to answer the following questions: 

• What are the environmental aspects of your project? How can it be a gift to Planet Earth?

You will receive feedback from scientists after presenting your project.
