Study and Research
Studying and reflecting on the contents linked to informal education and on the enhancement and cataloguing of our historical heritage.
CREI
Centro di Ricerca per l’Educazione Informale © (Centre of Research in Informal Education)
In 2008 the Museum has launched CREI, the Centre of Research in
Informal Education.
It emerged out of two needs:
- to supply a permanent, systematic and innovative service to the school system aiming to make scientific and technological themes more accessible through experimental activities and informal educational methodologies;
- to carry out research and reflect on the practice of informal, museum and science education. CREI contributes concretely to the professional development of teachers, offering ongoing support to their work and facilitating the constructive adoption of scientific methodologies in school practice.

European project PILOTS
Professionalization in Learning Technology and Science
This Project is financed by the Lifelong Learning Programme of
the European Union and involves seven partners from five European
countries. The aim of this Project is to contribute in a substantial
manner to the training of explainers. The Project sets out to develop
tools which can support explainers in their daily interaction with
an adult public. The activities of the Project include: research
on explainer training needs, four international seminars with further
dissemination within the partner institutions, the development of
pedagogic materials, the organization of an on-line discussion platform.

Safeguarding Contemporary Scientific and Technological Heritage
Our scientific and technological heritage – material and immaterial
– from recent decades needs to be preserved for future generations
as a source of knowledge and understanding of capacities, techniques
and innovations which have made up our history. The Museum, starting
from a cooperation agreement with the Italian Ministry for Cultural
Heritage and Activities has set up a context for discussion with
the most important Italian research bodies, universities, companies
and the most important science and technology museums. The project
takes inspiration from a similar initiative by CNAM, with whom a
collaboration agreement has also been signed.

Métiers), Paris

Scientific Catalogue of Our Historic Heritage
One of the aim of the Museum is to make historic heritage more
accessible to the public. For this reason a research project has
been set aiming to study the collections and to create a scientific
catalogue constantly updated and available on-line.

European project OPENSCIENCE
The Project is financed by the eContentplus programme of the European
Union with the aim of developing a European standard for the educational
contents in digital format. Eighteen partners from twelve European
Union Countries and United States are collaborating in the study
of a model which allows the sharing and development of material
on-line connected to science education. In a rich panorama of various
researches, a shared instrument for the different archives, the
efficient organization of their content and the structure of metadata
is still lacking. The Project aims to devise resources which help
science education, both formal and informal, to become more accessible.
