The presented papers summarise our findings of the surveys we conducted in Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Spain to assess students' attitutes towards STEM subjects and careers and the current teaching of STEM subjects, as well as the teachers' and school directors' practical approaches to conducting the concerned subjects.

 

In addition, the papers present local and regional initiatives as well as best practices to lay the basis for the innovative creation of cross-disciplinary Open Education Resources on STE(A)M education (integrating STEM and Arts).

 

The situation across EU, current EU policies and vision on science education, as well as other European initiatives related to STE(A)M are also presented in a fifth paper developed by the Lifelong Learning Platform.
