Scientix® Collections
A Scientix® Collection is a compilation of teaching resources, intended for planned and effective implementation of different STEM topics into the classroom in an integrated approach.
Implement these high-quality resources in your school and use them as evidence of your efforts to improve STEM education. They contribute to your STEM School Label application and can also help you earn special recognition linked to the focus of each collection.
Give it a try and showcase your school's commitment to STEM excellence!
Developed with the support of Cisco
Scientix Collections were developed with the support of Cisco. This contribution helped make the service possible and supports Scientix in strengthening STEM education across Europe.
How Scientix Collections work
- Choose a Collection and a Focus
Start by selecting the topic and focus that align with your school needs. - Select Competences
Pick the competences from the different frameworks or the specific SSL criteria you want to focus on in your STEM plan. - Check Resources
Review resources by subject and age group. First rows refer to Early Childhood knowledge areas; then Primary & Secondary subjects. - Open Resources
Click the number in a cell to open the list of resources and select what fits your school plan.
Collection Expertise
By integrating resources from a Scientix® Collection into your teaching practice and documenting their use in your STEM School Label application, your school can be awarded Collection Expertise.
How to achieve Collection Expertise?
To achieve a Collection Expertise, your school needs to:
- Upload at least 5 School Practice Evidence items from a specific focus within a collection.
- Involve the whole school: the resources should cover at least 3 different subjects and show the collaboration of at least 2 teachers.
Our team of moderators will review your evidence and award the recognition once the requirements are met!
What do you gain with a Collection Expertise?
Recognition & visibility. Schools meeting the criteria receive recognition linked to the collection theme and gain visibility within the Scientix® and STEM School Label communities.
Active Scientix Collections
Scientix Collections are grouped under broad topics, with different focuses developed within each category. New focuses and collections will be added in the future, giving schools more opportunities to find relevant resources and implement whole-school plans on specific topics.
Currently, the following Collections and Focuses are available:
Environmental Sustainability Collection
The Environmental Sustainability Collection is a comprehensive selection of high-quality, STEM-focused teaching materials related to all aspects of sustainability in education. It brings together resources that cover environmental topics, sustainability competences, and EU frameworks such as GreenComp, DigComp, and LifeComp, making it easier for teachers to explore, navigate, and implement sustainability learning at all levels of formal education. The Collection includes lesson plans, activities, and interactive resources, with tools to filter by age, subject, and specific competences.
Sustainable School Action
The Sustainable School Action resources focus specifically on practical, actionable ways schools can integrate sustainability into everyday teaching and learning. These resources guide teachers in implementing hands-on projects, collaborative activities, and school-wide initiatives that encourage students to apply sustainability competences in real-life contexts. They are designed to be flexible, adaptable, and inspiring, enabling teachers to start small in their classrooms and gradually expand efforts to involve more colleagues, students, and school leadership, creating a measurable impact on the school community.

Citizen Science Collection
Citizen science engages students and teachers in real scientific research, allowing them to collect data, make observations, and contribute to science while connecting classroom learning with real-world societal challenges.
The Citizen Science Collection brings together curated STEM resources such as learning scenarios, toolkits, games, and classroom activities, that support primary and secondary schools in implementing citizen science. These materials help students take part in authentic inquiry, collaborate with external actors, and develop scientific, digital, and civic competences.
The Collection supports educators and school leaders in integrating citizen science into classroom practice and whole-school STEM strategies.
EU Missions 2030
The EU Missions 2030 Collection focuses on the EU Missions, initiatives aimed at addressing some of Europe’s most pressing challenges. The missions cover Climate Change Adaptation, Cancer, Healthy Oceans and Seas, Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities and Soil Health. Each mission sets specific targets for 2030, with the goal of creating a greener, healthier, and more resilient Europe.
Citizen science, where members of the public contribute to scientific research often in collaboration with professional scientists, plays a key role in these efforts. It supports activities ranging from local data collection to raising awareness and engaging communities. This collection presents over 50 resources from projects aligned with the EU Missions, offering schools and students the opportunity to get actively involved.
