The project proposal for the OCW4STEM project is finalized. The proposal is for the EU Erasmus Life Long Learning programme as an Academic Network grant.
This consortium wants to address the high demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with use of Open Educational Resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW). On the supply side the consortium identifies and organises the collection of existing courses and it looks at new ways of education, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This should position Europe as leading region in the field of Open Education.
This is a large consortium with 55 partners from 31 EU countries, and 2 third countries partners. The partners include universities and associations of universities. All partners are active in the field of STEM education and support the Open Education Movement.
