My name is Ismail Ates. I havebeen teaching for 16 years. I have worked with students from different age groups. My goal is to increase students’ awareness and attitudes towards science as well as developing their skills in understanding and examining new developments and innovations with asking questions about their risks and benefits. Meeting with Project Irresistible stimulated my excitement and motivation for reaching that goal.

The European Union encourages science education to orient towards the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), i.e. socially and ethically sensitive and inclusive processes of science and technology. RRI is a major cross-cutting issue of the Horizon 2020 programme and a key concept in calls related to science education. Through a number of EU-funded initiatives such as IRRESISTIBLE, RRI is likely to have a substantial influence in teacher professional development and school science across Europe.
