Description
1) Objective
This topic would aim to support a gradual establishment and development of transnational collaborative partnerships and networks of STEM Education Centres to strengthen and/or build up local and regional STEM/STEAM learning ecosystems for educational innovation and social inclusion. Such ecosystems should respond to different cultural and educational contexts and varying, specific needs in each EU country, while building on existing structures and initiatives where available, or creating new ones.
The Centres should be guided by the community-based learning concepts such as the whole school approach or an open schooling, and align with the latest advances in STEM fields e.g. linked to the green and digital transitions, based on research; they should promote a systemic approach in STEM and STEAM education, e.g. with aggregated pedagogical standards, monitoring of learning outcomes, and professional development of educators, going far beyond a simple provision of quality STEM and STEAM education teaching and learning.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be legal entities (public or private bodies) active in the field of education and training, research and innovation or in the world of work
3) Location
Activities must take place in EU Member States or third countries associated to the Programme.
4) Budget
Total available funding is €6,000,000. Grants may range up to €1,000,000.
5) Application
Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Funding & Tenders Portal Electronic Submission System (accessible via the Topic page in the Search Funding & Tenders). Paper submissions are NOT possible. The application deadline is 8 April 2026.
