Abstract
La celebración del Año Internacional del Planeta Tierra (AIPT), persigue fundamentalmente incrementar el conocimiento y la sensibilidad social sobre las Ciencias de la Tierra. En esta mesa redonda, se dará información sobre la marcha del AIPT en España. Después de una breve reseña sobre la situación de la Geología en los planes de estudios en las Enseñanzas Segundarias y la evolución del número de alumnos de las carreras geológicas en las Universidades, que muestra una alarmante disminución, se pretende abrir una reflexión sobre las Ciencias de la Tierra y el lugar que ocupan en la Sociedad española. Desde todos los sectores, profesionales, investigadores, académicos y docentes, se trata de formular estrategias concretas que puedan aumentar la conciencia pública sobre la importancia de las Ciencias de la Tierra.
The main objective of the International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE) is to increase the knowledge of and the social sensibility about Earth Sciences. In this round-table conference, information on the course of the IPYE in Spain will be given. We will present the state-of-art of the Geology in Secondary School and a brief summary about the evolution of the number of students in Earth Sciences in the University, which show a drastic diminution. This will permit us to introduce a reflection on the position and visibility of Earth Sciences in Spain. From all the sectors, professional, scientific, academic and teaching, we will try to propose specific strategies which could permit that our Society became aware of the importance of Earth Science for our welfare.
