The Erna and Victor Hasselblad foundation is supporting a programme to support learning and understanding of molecular sciences in a broad sense, from nanotechnology to life sciences, with a focus on children and teenagers. An important part of the initiative is the establishment of an interdisciplinary research programme combining natural and educational science.
The programme brings together researchers with an interest both in educational science and in molecular sciences, from the atomic scale up to biomolecules, and with devotion to share the excitement of molecular science, in a belief that the world be a better place if the general public had a basic understanding of molecules. The programme finances a few PhD students, who are also continuing halftime as teachers in analogy with the "CUL" graduate school at Göteborg university. The programme builds on the experiences from this graduate school, as well as the national graduate school of science and technology education, FoNTD, and from the SESAME and CILS programmes.
