During the pilot project “Science Shops in
Romanian Moldova” (1998-2000), four pilot Romanian Science Shops
were established in the universities of: Bacau (Biology), Iasi
(Biology and Chemistry) and Galati (Chemistry). The follow up
project ”Problem-based learning through Science Shops in Romania”
started in 2002 and will run until end 2005. Four new Romanian
Science Shops were established in the universities of: Brasov
(Chemistry), Ploiesti (Chemistry), Bucharest (Chemistry) and Oradea
(Biology). Both the pilot project on Science Shops in Romania and
the follow-up project were funded by the Netherlands Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, through the Matra Programme.
These centres carry out a series of national and
international projects on research or educational topics, most
of them proposed by external beneficiaries.
