Outreach

Outreach

Project DIVE is designed to be also a precious source of investment in developing outreach and education platforms for schools, university students, formation of the next generation of researchers and the larger public. Outreach activities began already in the planning stage of the project, since the first contacts and collaborations with the al Grande National Park, the Sesia Val Grande UNESCO Global Geopark and other local institutions and authorities.

Outreach activities are planned to all levels, from visits at the future drilling sites and seminars for the general public, to the involvement of graduate and undergraduate students who will participate in core sampling and description work on site, and early-career researchers who will carry out independent scientific projects within DIVE.
