STEAM+ PROJECT IN SHORT

The STEAM+ project uses transdisciplinary talent programs such as the Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari as laboratories of innovation in higher education (HE).
Talent programs in Europe take a variety of forms and are rooted differently in various EU countries. Many universities and higher education institutes, especially in South-West Europe are planning to implement talent programs as a source of innovation and countries that already experience them are reflecting on their effectiveness and evolution.

Co-creating innovative solutions with the help of students, teachers and social, institutional representatives is the main method adopted.
Transdisciplinarity is the key word to foster new perspectives.
One of the main aims is to contribute to the development of consciousness and debate both among the national Higher Education Institutions and among policy makers and social partners.
