CDFs are becoming quite popular so check our clilnetle.eu website and your university library for new studies involving a co-operation with teachers and researchers.

Things to consider:

If you’ve been involved in collaborations between researchers and teachers, what were the key factors that made these successful (or not?). If you have ideas for co-operations with teachers and researchers, share them with our network!
