WISER-U (World-Wide Interaction for Science Education and Research in University)
is a non-profit international association created two years ago by students and scientists
who are passionate to share ideas and develop projects
for the future of Science,Education and Research.
Missions:
We are positioned to design and develop new technologies to create a global platform where students and researchers from all over the world can share their ideas and
create projects together. By increasing the contacts between like-minded creative students we will catalyze exchanges, foster projects on-line or in real life and build networks of ideas, learners and places of creativity where projects can be turned into reality.
Strategies:
WISER-U Online:
We are going to establish an open integrated web 2.0-3.0 platform for students and researchers to store, search and share their resources and ideas. By combining the up-to-date open-source software with de novo designed web-tools and interfaces, this platform designed by students for students will offer convenient and powerful tools by which people will find unprecedented dimensions and potentials to learn, search, create, communicate and collaborate with each other all over the world. The people with great ideas and motivations, no matter where they live and what language they speak, will not be isolated from each other anymore.
WISER-U Mobile:
Cell phone is a powerful tool for people to share education/research information and ideas, especially for the ones who have no accesses to Internet temporally or constantly. We are going to develop corresponding cell-phone software to complement and expand the application of WISER-U website, especially to help the students and researchers in developing areas.
WISER-U Real-life:
No matter how advanced Internet-based tools we will have, the significance of learning and research community in real-life should never be neglected. Based on our parallel success in extremely diverse background (Centre de recherche interdisciplinare in Paris and center for theoretical biology in Beijing), we will keep promoting the emergence of real-life communities for pioneering interdisciplinary education and research all over the world. In long-term, the collaboration between these communities will offer the best conditions for students and researchers to learn or work in different context, meet each other, share their knowledge and ideas, collaborate on projects and eventually explore for the solutions of local or global challenges.
Call for collaboration：
WISER-U is a non-profit, open-source and collaborative project. We definitely need the joint efforts from great collaborators to realize our vision. Improving access to, interactions in and the quality of education and research is no doubt an essential driving force for a better future of global human society. We sincerely welcome anybody with the same dreams to join, use or collaborate with WISER-U.
