The European platform for science teachers
National events
At the European Science on Stage festival each country is represented by its own STEM teacher delegation. Therefore each National Steering Committee organises its national pre-selection the year before the festival.
Each country organises their national pre-selection in another way – some organise events that last four days, some only one, some events include students in on-stage presentation, some include actual research and some are open only for teachers. Of all projects handed-in and presented the national juries select those STEM teachers with the most innovative projects to be part of their delegations.
Though all the national pre-selections are quite unique and have a competitive character they have one thing in common: They are a great way to meet enthusiastic teachers from your country and to exchange ideas and activities!
