A nation-wide Association of Heads of School of Science are launching a science site www.scienceireland.ie, to help encourage the study of science, so necessary as a foundation to Science, Engineering, Medical and Technology careers.
A knowledge based nation is the only guarantee of future prosperity in Ireland. The developments in science are so rapid, that every day citizens need to have at least an introduction to science, to be able to cope with massive sociological and technological changes. The site is at: www.scienceireland.ie
