LUMAT Science Research Forum aims to improve the quality, effectiveness, and visibility of the Finnish science education research. To achieve this, it develops and deepens the dialogue and research collaboration among the universities, faculties and research groups. Universities are in key position in supporting continuous learning opportunities in teacher education.
We also publish a double peer-reviewed open access journal LUMAT on math, science and technology education.
Forum aims to
