Aim of this task:
Identify research studies, STEM education projects and reports which have been developed in your country and which involve and/or promote school-industry partnerships as a way of fostering students’ interest on STEM career.
The goal is to identify:
- Relevant research in the field of STEM related to school-industry initiatives which has achieved impact enough to be published at international level.
- Research results about existing national and local initiatives in Europe that have been researched only at national level with research results disseminated only in the national language at national level.
This task does not only contribute to establish a state-of-the-art in the field, but also allows a better dissemination of projects and studies that have been performed at local level across Europe and which might have had little impact at international level.
