Here you may find the first Road-STEAMer Policy Brief.

We analysed the current scenario of the STEM sector in Europe – facing challenges like lack of skilled employees and underrepresentation of women and marginalised groups.

To address these issues and encourage greater engagement in science, the Road-STEAMer project prioritised four policy areas for policy development:

Encourage the uptake of STE(A)M careers;
Increase diversity in STE(A)M;
Increase science and arts literacy for all;
Align education with tomorrow’s societal needs.

The project will elaborate on identified policy areas and provide evidence-based policy recommendations in the next two foreseen policy briefs.
