And we are thrilled that Scientix®, European Schoolnet^®’s flagship Community for Science Education is featured as one of the key solutions to mobilise educators across Europe for a future-ready STEM education that will benefit Europe’s STEM talent and strategic competitiveness!

The report highlights that thanks to new methods and initiatives, change is coming despite persistent structural challenges. The study points to promising national strategies, innovative teacher training models, investments in infrastructure supported by EU funds, and inspiring Erasmus+ projects that show impact and scalability.

The integration of digital tools, innovative pedagogical practices, collaboration and interdisciplinarity are powerful levers for modernising STEM education and convert classrooms into innovative learning environments.

By its very nature and founding principles, Scientix addresses many of the obstacles highlighted by the report. By bringing together educational practitioners, Ministries of Education, Industry partners and academics, the Scientix community continuously demonstrates how innovative educational practices, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity can transform the classroom for the better!

And there’s no better moment to observe this than during the annual Scientix STEM Discovery Campaign. The 2026 edition reached new heights and showcased with exceptional passion and commitment how integrated STEM education, informed technology use, STEM career role models and committed continuous professional development can impact the teaching and learning experience.  This year, the campaign involved over 1 million participants across 50+ countries through more than 9000 activities, including 800,000+ students and 200,000+ educators.
