Objectives 1. Stimulate development in engineering education Based on the outcomes of comparative research of various educational practices, to propose solutions to close the existing gaps and to modernise the entire education chain from school level to higher education, including continuous education. 2. Become an expert voice to policymakers With reference to the results of the conducted research, to provide advice and form recommendations for policy interventions and support. 3. Establish a stakeholders’ network Through the creation of inter-sectorial networks as discussion- and anchoring-base for participants from engineering institutions, academia, business and public sector. 4. Raise awareness and attractiveness of STEM education throughout the whole education chain By establishing a database that aims at describing and comparing the educational environments in the Nordic countries. By identifying best practices in raising interest for STEM among the young generation and providing visibility to these practices through targeted communication events. 5. Create a place for project initiation By means of facilitating research, innovation and development applications for STEM education, as well as initiating new collaborative activities for practitioners in schools, colleges and universities. Consortium KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Aalto University (Finland), Reykjavik University (Iceland), Aalborg University (Denmark), University of Stavanger (Norway) together with the Network of the Rectors and Deans of Technical universities in the Nordic and Baltic countries (Nordtek) and the Association of Nordic Engineers (ANE).
