As part of our Erasmus+ project “Green Europe” we visited the hydraulic engineering laboratory at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences on January 16, 2024. Helmut Habersack, head of the BOKU hydraulic engineering laboratory, gave the participating teachers from the 20 project schools a comprehensive insight into a wide range of research on the topic of “water” using the Danube as an example.
After the very interesting tour, there was a joint brainstorming session on the didactic preparation of complex scientific findings for students. In the future, Viennese teachers will be actively involved in the design of the public lab of the hydraulic engineering laboratory!
This cooperation promotes the educational exchange of didactic approaches and scientific research on the topic of “water”. The European Office is proactively committed to raising awareness of environmental issues in schools.
