About STEM4HUMANITIES
Project Description
The aim of the STEM4Humanities project is to bridge the gap between STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and humanities education in order to address key issues in higher education.
The project aims to foster the development of transversal skills essential for employability and career success, recognising the high unemployment rates among humanities students and the urgent need to support STEM education, especially among women. Through innovative teaching strategies and cross-disciplinary approaches, STEM4Humanities aims to increase the proportion of women in STEM careers and improve the employability of humanities students.
The project aims to equip students with the skills employers are looking for by integrating STEM education into humanities curricula and by training humanities professors in contemporary STEM teaching methods. The STEM4Humanities project therefore aims to equip students for the demands of the modern workforce, while promoting a more diverse and inclusive educational landscape.
