SMEC 2008 will address the issues of sciences serving science, exploring questions such as transfer of knowledge and skills between disciplines, breadth versus depth in science curricula and the implications of these issues in regard to teacher education.

Conference themes:

Papers are invited which relate to any such issues, but in particular those which will focus on:

• Breadth versus depth in science curricula
• Transfer of knowledge & skills between disciplines
• Interdisciplinarity & multidisciplinarity
• Subsidiary subjects in science
• Implications for teacher education
