A continuation of FabLab’s activities from the SCOPE project, in which a consortium of 11 partners developed the thematic network “STEM as a driver of society”. The support is re-contracted every year — three consecutive cycles mean trust is not given once, but renewed.

The project delivers public policy proposals on the role of civil society organisations in strengthening STEM popularisation — through cooperation with stakeholders, especially institutional education, and with higher-education and research institutions.
Activities: developing quality standards for STEM workshops, organising science-popularisation events, advocating for public funding opportunities for CSO activities in STEM, and publishing results in the media.
In cooperation with a higher-education institution. Planned
