EduCafé: Putting the STEM Education Strategic Plan into Action

The first EduCafé of 2026 will address one of the most pressing challenges facing Europe’s future. The discussion will focus on how to strengthen STEM education and attract more young people to these fields in order to better respond to the needs of a knowledge- and innovation-based economy. Special attention will be given to the shortage of STEM graduates, the role of educational institutions, and collaboration with key stakeholders such as schools, regions, and private-sector employers.

The event will take place on Tuesday, April 14, at 17:30 at ISELP (Bd de Waterloo 31) in Brussels. We are pleased to welcome Ms. Lena Dändliker, Head of the Swiss Education Lab at the Department of Educational Systems at ETH Zurich, whose research focuses on educational processes and their impact on individuals, the economy, and society, with a special emphasis on STEM education. We will also welcome Ms. Mariana Tesařová, Head of the Internationalization Department at Brno University of Technology (BUT), where she works to strengthen the international dimension of education and research in STEM and to align international cooperation with broader EU priorities in innovation and skills development. They will be joined by Ms. Chiara Colella from DG EAC (European Commission), who is currently contributing to the implementation of initiatives in the field of STEM education and skills within the European Education Area. The discussion will be moderated by David Chvála from CZELO.
