DESIRE: Disseminating Educational Science Innovation & Research in Europe

Share this project

DESIRE aims to improve the dissemination and exploitation of research results and teaching practices from Lifelong Learning Programme projects and national Ministries of Education.

The objective is to develop a set of best practice criteria and new models for dissemination and mainstreaming of innovative tools in science and maths teaching as well as in STEM education research. 

Specifically, DESIRE will:

establish and test a mechanism to better diffuse and exploit results from existing innovative science education approaches and research results supported by the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme and by Ministries of Education of European countries

provide a platform through existing national and EU portals for science education 

identify barriers and facilitators to promoting innovative science and maths teaching;

organise workshops for policy-makers, project managers and other science and math education professionals on how to communicate effectively the results of STEM initiatives;

The project will also create a network of science teachers involved in informal online training and communities of practice. The training will draw on the results of successful Lifelong Learning Programme projects and national initiatives in STEM; selected by the Policy Innovation committee set up by European Schoolnet, the project coordinator.
