Description:

To meet the demand for qualified experts from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) we developed a set of measures for school children (to raise their interest in STEM and their self-efficacy) and university students (to increase the retention rate).

Start of the project:
2009-07
End of the project:
2014-06
