March 2023: STEAM+ Jamboree

The STEAM+ project, created by 18 partners from 9 different European countries and supported by 34 associate partners, has resulted in two educational tools that will help higher education institutions implement and develop their own innovation labs, as well as provide policy advice for future long term planning.

STE(A)M stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, (All other subjects), and Maths. The STEAM+ project aims to provide policy instruments for developing Transdisciplinary Talent Programs, to prepare new generations for the challenges of our time.

During the Jamboree presented on these tools, their development, how to use them, and the benefits they can bring in helping to tackle complex challenges in society.

The two keynote speakers were:

Fabienne Beernaert; Lector Bachelor Visual Design & Design for Impact (LUCA School of Arts – Belgium) and
Crister Nyberg (Haaga-Helia University of Applied Science, Finland

On behalf of the EU STEM Coalition, Matthew Coates, (project manager with the EU STEM Coalition) wrote a report of the Jamboree.
