Therefore Amase collects contact information from teachers and data from questionnaires related to the pedagogy of New Material Science.

Why did/do you collect the data?

To improve the teaching of science and the teacher education in the field of New Material Science. Contact info or data data is collected to communicate with teachers and provide them with learning materials that are developed and researched by the Amase Consortium.

Which personal data is shared with third parties?

Personal data is never shared and only anonymous information and conclusions can be shared outside the project team. Occasionally a photo taken during a class activity or teacher training event can be shared in a general sense to illustrate a pedagogy or communicate about science education.
