logo-seerSpecifically, the goal of the SEER project is to create a roadmap that will contribute to the implementation of integrated STE(A)M education in Europe. This is expected to be achieved through an examination of the current state of STE(A)M education in Europe, based on the existing practices and policies. Additionally, the Scientix platform will be used as a tool to this attempt, as well, as it is designed to cater to the needs of the corresponding educators, highlighting deficiencies and gaps of education.

The 2nd TPM proved to be extremely successful, providing partners with the opportunity to exchange views on the current status and achievements of the project so far. The main focus of the discussions was the expansion and modernization of STE(A)M courses to respond to the reality and challenges of the new age.

All partners of the SEER project participated in the meeting and specifically DAISSy Research Group was represented by Mr. Achilles Kameas, Professor at HOU and Director of DAISSy, as well as Ms. Natalia Spyropoulou, Project Manager and Researcher at DAISSy. The main focus of the proceedings was the update on the progress of the implementation of the project deliverables by each respective partner. The topics that were discussed in depth were the design of SEER’s research activities, the results achieved up to date, as well as the ways to create assessment and certification tools, which are included in the project’s deliverables. In addition, future project actions were defined, such as seminars, working meetings, and presentations. Furthermore, aspects related to the creation of the roadmap were analyzed, aiming at the completion of STE(A)M education.

The 2nd Transnational Meeting of the SEER project partners was successful, fostering teamwork, lively exchange of ideas, and agreement on the next steps for project implementation.

The SEER project is a three-year initiative co-funded by the European Union’s HORIZON program. It is implemented through a consortium with six (6) partners in six (6) European countries (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Germany, Netherlands), with DAISSy-HOU as the Greek partner participating in all project deliverables and being responsible for the analysis of needs and impacts on STEAM education.
