Konstantinos Korfiatis is Associate Professor of Environmental Education at the Department of Education, University of Cyprus. He is, since 2016, a member of the Academic Committee of ERIDOB (European Researchers in Didactics of Biology). His research interests expand to the areas of environmental education, ecology and sustainability education. Marcus Grace is Professor of Science Education and former Head of the Education School at the University of Southampton, UK. His main interests include learning and teaching about socio-scientific issues, particularly biodiversity conservation and outdoor science education. He is Chair of the Academic Committee of ERIDOB (European Researchers in Didactics of Biology), and has researched and published widely on education for socio-scientific issues with colleagues around the world.
