The Physics Education Division of the European Physical Society [EPS-PED] and the International Research Group on Physics Teaching [GIREP] have signed a cooperation agreement. The letter includes in particular the exchange of information on activities and conferences.

The EPS-PED and GIREP have a long history of collaborating with one another. The EPS-PED and GIREP have common members on their respective boards. The European Physics Education Conference [EPEC] is often co-located with the GIREP. The EPS-EPEC brings together physicists working in physics educational research and in physics education at all types of schools from the whole world to enable them to share and exchange their experience.

Today much of the ethical and political decision-making involves some understanding of the nature of science, its strengths and limits. There is perhaps no better or more recent example of this need, than the debate that arose around the discovery of the Higgs Boson and the operation of LHC at CERN, which has sparked the imagination of authors of works of fiction, occasionally causing concern among the general public. To understand the role of science in deliberations about the projected outcomes of the experiments taking place in the LHC, their safety and value - given the immense investment in human and other resources involved - all students, including future scientists need...
