About SCIENTIX Scientix promotes and supports Europe-wide collaboration between STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) teachers, education researchers, policy makers and other STEM education professionals. Initially (2009-2012), the project set up an online portal to compile and present European STEM education projects and their results, and organized a number of teacher seminars. The main networking event was the Scientix conference in Brussels in May 2011. The aim of the second phase of the Scientix project (2013-2015) was to expand the community in each of the participating countries. Through its network of National Contact Points (NCPs), Scientix reached out to teacher communities in each country and promoted the development of national strategies to increase the use of data-driven and other innovative approaches in science and mathematics education. These activities also continued in the third phase of Scientix (2016-2019), funded by the European Union
