Description

ICSE STE(A)M vision is a 36-month Erasmus+ Teacher Academy funded under the call ERASMUS-EDU-2025-PEX-TEACH-ACA. The project is coordinated by Pädagogische Hochschule Freiburg (Germany) and involves 11 partners from higher education, teacher training organisations, and ministries across Europe.

The project aims to establish a sustainable interdisciplinary European partnership on integrated STE(A)M and to create clear European perspectives for STE(A)M teacher education. The consortium combines seven higher education institutions, two European-level teacher training organisations, and policy stakeholders, creating a “hyper-network” that connects the ICSE consortium, European Schoolnet’s network of Ministries of Education, and EduNet’s links with teachers and policymakers.

The project focuses on three main objectives:

  1. Developing a high-quality integrated STE(A)M teacher training programme consisting of eight practice-based modules based on real-world challenges.
  2. Implementing the programme in accessible mobility formats (virtual, blended, and physical) to support intercultural exchange and continuous professional development.
  3. Embedding policy dialogue at European, national, and regional levels to inspire evidence-based reforms in teacher education systems.
