At the same time, NDSTE 2014 was a great opportunity for networking and collaboration of researchers from around the world to promote innovative ideas for further research in related scientific fields. NDSTE 2014 was co-organized by Science View, just a few weeks after the 1st World Congress on Geriatrics and Neurodegenerative Disease Research, GeNeDis 2014 which was also organized in Corfu by SV.
NDSTE 2014 had two objectives: The first objective is the sharing of new practices within the area of research in science and technology education.
