Frederick University: Successful organization of two International Conferences as part of the dissemination activities of the European funded project “Visual arts education in new times: Connecting Art with REal life issues” (CARE)
Project CARE is about enhancing Visual Arts Education with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) elements. During the project, four teacher-training programmes were developed and delivered, which empowered primary school teachers and teachers-to-be in visual arts teaching within the framework of ESD and developed professional learning communities, thus strengthening teachers' teaching profiles. The teachers delivered innovative art units in schools and profoundly impacted pupils' lives, contributed to a well-rounded education, addressed children's needs, and offered opportunities for different ways of participation in schools. The children developed their confidence and ownership of learning and participated in socially engaged art practices.

The Cyprus Institute: New Mechanism for Particle Formation in the Upper Troposphere Discovered by a Team of International Researchers Including CARE-C Scientists
A team of international researchers, including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the Climate and Atmosphere Research Centers (CARE-C) at The Cyprus Institute, has discovered a new mechanism for particle formation and growth in the upper troposphere by combining experiments in the CERN cloud chamber and computer modelling. An unexpected synergy between nitric acid, sulfuric acid and ammonia vapors forms particles remarkably rapidly and depends on the availability of ammonia. This process may dominate the formation of new particles in the Asian monsoon region, where ammonia from agricultural emissions is abundant.
