DESCRIPTION
Science education is crucial for shaping the present and future of modern societies. Thus, the EU needs more talented young people to increase its creativity and competitiveness. This is especially true in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
However, the enrolment rates in STEM-based degree programs are low. This will ultimately lead to a workforce problem in European industries and especially in many of the new member states. The SciChallenge project seeks to address this issue by developing novel concepts for getting young people excited about science, education and careers in the STEM-fields.
