STEM School Label is an initiative that enables schools across Europe to evaluate and enhance their STEM strategies through a structured self-assessment process. Using an online tool based on key criteria, schools can identify areas for improvement, access targeted training, and find resources to strengthen their STEM education practices.
The goal of the STEM School Label is to:
- ● Foster greater interest and skills in STEM among young Europeans;
- ● Support schools in engaging students, teachers, and other stakeholders in meaningful STEM-related activities;
- ● Guide schools in developing and implementing effective STEM strategies at institutional level.
Initially launched in 2017 as an Erasmus+ project, the STEM School Label was a joint initiative by European Schoolnet®, Ciencia Viva (Portugal), Maison pour la Science d'Alsace (France), the Center for the Promotion of Science (Serbia) and the Education Development Center (Lithuania).
After 2021, the initiative was coordinated under Scientix®, with support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Now, the STEM School Label is a service of Scientix®, coordinated by European Schoolnet® (EUN).
