LUMAT Science Research Forum

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

  1. Promote mathematics, science and technology education and teacher education through multidisciplinary research in the LUMA ecosystem
  2. Promote teacher education research (also PhD’s and master students’ research) on mathematics, science and technology
  3. Foster national and international collaboration
  4. Progress funding opportunities
  5. Support the careers of young researchers
  6. Influence LUMA education policy and practice in Finland
  7. Collaborate with other related associations

LUMAT Research Forum develops, supports, and participates in activities and research that progress the quality, effectiveness, and visibility of the Finnish science education research through the forum`s aims.
