STEAM+ is a large-scale innovative project with a holistic approach, aiming to provide educational policy makers with instruments to prepare new generations for handling the challenges of our time.

General Objectives

The EU-funded STEAM+ project aims at providing educational policy makers with instruments to prepare new generations for handling the challenges of our time.The STEAM+ project uses transdisciplinary talent programs as laboratories of innovation in higher education (HE).STEAM+ combines three key innovative elements:

• Applying a holistic approach, starting with grand challenges, using international, transdisciplinary and educational chain perspectives;
• Using the proven innovative power of transdisciplinary talent programs;
• Collaborating transnationally with 18 HE and policy partners and 34 enthusiastic associate partners to optimize dissemination of results and impact.

Expected Results

The project intends to create two main products:

• An instrument on how to establish transdisciplinary talent programs in HE: The STEAM+ Innovation Lab Implementation Path;
• An instrument for policy makers at HE, local, regional, national and EU levels to support and recognize (development of) such programs: the STEAM+ Menu for Policy Inspiration.
