Abstract
The Physical Science and Engineering Education Research Centre (PSEER Centre) has just been established at the University of Guelph. Created as a research centre within the College of Physical and Engineering Science, its mission is to promote research into teaching and learning in the physical and engineering sciences, and to foster improved pedagogical practices in the classroom. Funding has been provided to establish a distinguished science education speaker series, create and fund the position of Science Education Scholar, fund an ongoing research competition for science research programs, establish a science education conference, and advocate for advancement of science education policy, practice, funding, scholarship, and recognition. The first call for research proposals has gone out to the faculty and the first programs should be underway by the time this conference begins. The members look forward to collaboration with their peers throughout the field.
