Abstract
EDUSEIS (The Educational Seismological Project) is based on an experience that has already existed since 1994 in the United States under the name PEPP: Princeton Earth Physics Project. PEPP has been led and coordinated by Prof. Guust Nolet from the University of Princeton . The success of the American project in schools and its scientific results has encouraged us to develop this experience in Europe . The PEPP network has developed in the USA a large activity for teacher-training on educational and scientific topics which has been realised by the organisation of several workshops, the creation of a newsletter and the development of training courses for teachers in research institutes. PEPP in United States and EduSeis in Europe are based on recent development of new technologies which allow the utilisation of high fidelity, low-cost seismic instrumentation which schools can easily use. EduSeis will certainly be very different from the American experience for the important role that the science museums would cover in the European project, not only in setting up the schools activities and connect them to the scientific world, but also in diffusing all information to the general public. The EduSeis project at the forefront of scientific communication because its main objective is to create a direct and permanent link between scientists on one hand, teachers and students on the other one. This relation is fundamental for the introduction of new ways of learning similar to those used in the scientific research world. EduSeis is a scientific/educational project which involves high schools, scientific museums and research institutes in different European countries. It covers the fields of environmental and earth sciences using seismology as a tool of scientific learning.
