During the last decades the Netherlands has been very active in the innovation of science and mathematics education. Currently Dutch curriculum development projects are in progress for the subjects mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry and advanced integrated science and mathematics. This Summer School aims at providing secondary science and mathematics teachers with a blend of lectures, seminars and other activities on curriculum development and related research. Due to the presence of concurrent summer schools there will also be opportunities to attend lectures on new developments in science and mathematics research.
