The DAISSy research group of Hellenic Open University (HOU) (https://daissy.eu/ participates in the activities of the new project entitled “SEER – The STE(A)M Education European Roadmap”, which is co-funded by the horizon Europe Programme. The SEER project (with a duration of 36 months) is implemented by a consortium of 6 partners from an equal number of countries (Greece, Cyprus, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Italy), in which internationally recognized institutions/bodies participate in research and formulation of policies related to STE(A)M education, under the coordination of the European Schoolnet (European Schoolnet), whose members are the Ministries Education of European countries. Its main purpose is to study the current status of STE(A)M education in Europe, collect practices and policies, talk to the community of STE(A)M educators through the Scientix platform (http://www.scientix. eu/) and analyze the gaps and needs in order to produce the road map of the implementation of integrated STE(A)M education in Europe.
