The Laboratory has been active since 1999 in the fields of education research and of communication of physical sciences. In addition to traditional areas of experimental research in the field of mechanics, fluid mechanics and electromagnetism and optics, work is done in the new context of information and multimedia technologies, in particular for a renewed didactics of quantum and matter physics. The laboratory is also reference for the design and implementation of training programs for students and teachers of schools at all levels, in particular through the Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche and the Agency for Educational Research of the Trentino Province, IPRASE. Much work is also carried out in collaboration with museums and science centers, primarily with the new MUSE of Trento, as well as for the communication with the general public (conferences, scientific theater).
