Euro-Asia Collaboration for Enhancing STEM Education

Abstract

International audienceEASTEM is a capacity-building project funded by Erasmus+ with the aim of improving employability of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) graduates from partner universities by ensuring students acquire skills needed in the workplace. EASTEM uses approaches from student-centred STEM education to develop the competence of lecturers and bridge the gap between industry and universities. Over the course of three full years (2019-2022) the project brought together ten universities from Asia and three universities from Europe to work together on improving STEM education, creating a platform for partner universities to exchange best practices on student-centred STEM education. Two associate partners, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and Vietnam Electronics Industries Association are supporting EASTEM activities
