The Ripples

FEDORAS Academy is designed to evolve in practice and not just on paper. This section documents that evolution. Here, you can follow the Academy’s journey as it unfolds across Europe. Teachers, researchers, and partners share updates, reflections, photos, and stories from classrooms, labs, summer schools, and beyond.

The Ripples capture the living side of the Academy. This section is dynamic and continuously updated.
