The overarching objective of the SEER project is to provide a set of roadmaps that will pave the way for the policy and institutional changes necessary for the large-scale implementation and mainstreaming of STE(A)M education in Europe.
To achieve this far-reaching goal, the SEER will synthesise the status of STE(A)M Education and evaluate national and international policies to understand which policy settings best support STE(A)M education. This analysis and resulting recommendations will be provided to Ministries of Education and EU policy makers to support policy improvements in Europe.
In addition, STE(A)M initiatives and EU funded projects of all teaching levels will be mapped and evaluated, identifying educational strategies that provide the best outcomes for teachers and students. Combining this mapping exercise with an analysis of the needs of teachers and schools will help identify gaps in European STE(A)M initiatives and guide teachers and schools, and teacher training institutions toward adequate resources.
Using this deep and extensive approach, the SEER will design a set of milestones, trajectories, and strategies for key stakeholders, including policymakers, school decision makers, teachers, and industry partners, to support the uptake of STE(A)M education in Europe and beyond.
THE SEER NETWORK
The STE(A)M Education European Roadmap has created the SEER Network, that gathers leading and pioneering STE(A)M Education stakeholders, teacher training institutions, STEM industry representatives, and educational research organisations. They will work together to produce state of art knowledge on STE(A)M education, collect pedagogical resources for teachers and schools, and collaborate to build the foundations of the SEER Roadmaps.

THE STE(A)M ATLAS OF ROADMAPS
The STE(A)M Atlas of Roadmaps Initiative seeks to create the adequate circumstances at the European level for the wide uptake of STE(A)M in schools and other learning environments. The Atlas will contain the roadmaps created by three projects funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme:
The SEER, Road-STEAMer and SENSE.

The First STE(A)M Education European Roadmap Seminar confirms: STE(A)M is the future of Education!
On 27 March 2024, the Horizon Europe funded project STE(A)M Education European Roadmap (“the SEER”) held its first public seminar to present the results of the first half of the project to broad audiences of teachers, educators and other stakeholders interested in joining the conversation on the value of STE(A)M practices. Read more.
During the course of the project, the SEER will produce research papers, policy briefs and pedagogical resources that will help Education actors and stakeholders explore STE(A)M education, navigate STE(A)M initiatives, and understand the STE(A)M policy landscape in Europe.
All the publications are building blocks of the STE(A)M Education European Roadmap.
