The Road-STEAMer First Policy Brief
January 2024 - This policy brief outlines all the challenges faced in STEM sectors in Europe such as lack of skilled employees and the persistent underrepresentation of women and marginalised groups in these fields of employment. During the first project year, we identified four main areas for policy recommendations to address these STEM-related issues. Key areas to prioritise are encouraging the uptake of STE(A)M careers, increasing diversity in these sectors, enhancing science and arts literacy, and aligning education with tomorrow’s societal needs.

The first Road-STEAMer Infographic
January 2024 - This infographic outlines a set of criteria the Road-STEAMer project has identified to map and analyse STEAM practices in Europe. Equity was identified as an underlying principle and value that supports all STEAM practice and is therefore an all-pervading criterion. The key criteria identified were Collaboration, Disciplinary inter-relationships, Thinking-making-doing, Creativity, Real-world connection, and Inclusion / Personalisation / Empowerement.
