SiiT – School-oriented Interactive Identification Tools

Share this project

Innovative interactive tools (e-keys) for plant, animal and fungi identification. The keys developed by the former European project “Key to Nature” were implemented further, and new multilingual guides were created. Keys are usable online and in the field via mobile media.

SiiT (School-oriented Interactive Identification Tools) was a three-year project aimed at enhancing knowledge of biodiversity, in an area extending from the eastern Adriatic coasts (Italy) to Western Slovenia. It equipped schools (from primary/basic schools to universities) amateurs and citizens with innovative interactive tools for the identification of plants, animals and fungi.

The keys developed by the former European project Key to Nature were developed further as part of SiiT, and new multilingual guides created. Keys are usable online and in the field with mobile technology. Numerous demonstrations, training seminars, educational activities with schools and research were organised by SiiT. The project involved ten partners from Slovenia and Italy, including universities, educational institutions, museums of natural science, parks and agencies of local development and environmental monitoring, and was funded under the Interreg programme Italy-Slovenia 2007-2013, part of the European Regional Development Fund and national funds.
