Eureka! Irish science magazine for children scoops international award

A SCIENCE magazine aimed at children aged between 8-12 and produced by two academics at Waterford Institute of Technology has scooped a coveted award.

Eureka is the work of the Institute’s Centre for the Advancement of Learning of Maths, Science and Technology (CALMAST) and has been jointly awarded the 2005 World Young Reader Prize by the World Association of Newspapers (WAN).

Dr Sheila Donegan and Eoin Gill from CALMAST will receive the honour along with representatives from Independent News & Media at the WAN World Young Reader Conference in Buenos Aires next month.
