ICSE Science Factory: Open Schooling Activities

The International Centre for STEM Education (ICSE) is based at the University of Education in Freiburg, Germany, and focuses on practice-oriented research and its translation into practice. ICSE sustainably links stakeholders from research, practice, policy and industry, nationally and internationally, through the ICSE consortium.

The ultimate aim of ICSE is to improve STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education across Europe. That is, to give students insights into the authentic features of STEM subjects and their connection to real-life contexts, to raise achievement levels in STEM subjects, and to make Science literacy accessible to all students, regardless of gender or cultural or socioeconomic background. In this way, ICSE aims to promote young people’s interest in STEM careers.
