The SySTEM 2020 Project, coordinated by Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, is an EU funded project building an understanding of the theory and practice of science education outside the classroom. We want to support children and young people to become future citizens in the world of fast-evolving science and technology. We are achieving this by mapping the field across Europe, evaluating transdisciplinary learning programmes, examining individual learning ecologies through learner-led self-evaluation tools, and designing best practice principles for educators in the field.

Our research and tools will help to frame science learning priorities and future educational policies. Together we can enable the EU to predict and respond to changes in science education outside the classroom, to develop an equitable and diverse science learning landscape.

Partners: Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin (IE), Waag (NL), Ars Electronica (AT), Ecsite (BE), Aalto University (FI), Centre for Social Innovation (AT), Kersnikova Institute (SI), Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci (IT), LATRA (GR), Centre for Promotion of Science (RS), Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem (IL).
