European Schoolnet – a network of 31 Ministries of Education across Europe - operates the Xplora portal. It is supported by the PENCIL project, a project funded by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research as part of Science and Society. The PENCIL project is part of the wider Nucleus framework, a cluster of science education projects including Europe's major research laboratories. Read more about the PENCIL project here.

Xplora Teachers Group

To stimulate the development, a core group of science teachers has been selected, who are innovative in their pedagogical approach, have a high level of competency in the use of ICT tools and can communicate effectively in international environments.
