Become a volunteer at ESERA 

Are you interested in science education, and would you like to help make a big event happen? We would love for you to join our volunteer team for the 16th European Science Education Research Association (ESERA) conference, which will take place from 25 to 29 August 2025 in Copenhagen. With the theme of Transitions in Science Education: Sustainability and Digital Advances, the conference will bring together educators, researchers, and science enthusiasts from around the world to explore the future of science education.   

It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and be part of inspiring discussions and sessions. We are looking for enthusiastic, friendly volunteers to help in a variety of ways, from guiding participants around, to helping with sessions and social activities.   

Workload  

You should be able to at the conference at least one full day. We anticipate that the workload will be about half a day and the rest of the time you can participate in the conference programme. We strive to plan shifts so that you can participate in sessions and activities that you find interesting.  

Here is a small snapshot of what our volunteers will do:  

Before the conference   

• Setting up materials, testing registration systems and ensuring that the premises are well stocked.   

• Setting up directional signs and organizing emergency information.   

During the conference   

• Showing the way and informing at important places such as the Central Station.   

• Assist with registration, help attendees find their sessions, and provide IT support if needed.   

• Help ensure that everyone has a good experience, especially those who need extra help.   

• Facilitation of social activities and moderation of comment fields.   

After the conference   

• Take down signs and collect conference materials for recycling or storage.   

Why become a volunteer?   

It’s a great opportunity to gain experience, build connections, and spend time with a community of like-minded people. It will be possible for you to participate in some of the sessions that you find interesting and be part of the conference’s activities. Your help is truly what makes this conference run smoothly and creates a memorable experience for everyone involved. We will make sure that there is food, snacks, and beverages.
