The Region of Crete and the Hellenic Mediterranean University, through the Institute of Physics of the Earth’s Interior and Geohazards of the University Research and Innovation Centre, invite the public to the presentation of the results of the project “Pilot Research Network of School Seismographs in Schools of Crete”. The event will take place on Monday, 15 June 2026, at 11:00 a.m., in the Conference Hall of the Region of Crete, at Eleftherias Square, in Heraklion. The project was implemented with the aim of creating an active network of seismological stations in eight secondary education schools in Crete, giving students the opportunity to participate in real research activities in the field of seismology. During the programme, participants developed skills in the collection and analysis of seismological data, the estimation of basic parameters of seismic events, and the collaborative processing of results through a shared online platform. The initiative made a significant contribution to cultivating a culture of prevention and preparedness against seismic risks, connecting scientific research with the school community, developing students’ research thinking, and strengthening citizens’ relationship with scientific knowledge. The project was carried out in collaboration with the Laboratory Centres for Natural Sciences (E.K.F.E.) of Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion and Lasithi, productively linking research and education.
