| About us European Schoolnet's STEM Alliance is a growing network of industry and education stakeholders who are working to encourage and inspire young people to pursue STEM careers. European Schoolnet is the EU network of 33 European Ministries of Education. The Alliance was created to address an unprecedented STEM skills shortage in Europe. Low interest in STEM careers, declining performance in traditional STEM learning, and the digital literacy gap are resulting in ever fewer STEM graduates – limiting not just innovation, but our ability to address global issues like climate change, mobility, and energy. To meet this challenge, the Alliance focuses on three areas:
Linked to a network of 33 Ministries of Education, our outreach programmes have developed an unrivalled reach within education. In 2021, the Alliance and its 20 partners delivered over 2,000 activities in more than 9,000 schools – reaching over 22,000 teachers and 122,000 students across Europe. | Partnering with the STEM Alliance
