There is a network of CSOs in Croatia that advocates the dissemination of new research findings from STEM, but the potential of this area for strengthening civil society and the potential of civil society for strengthening STEM are not sufficiently recognised by the general public. The aim of the project is to strengthen the capacity of associations (three) for the application of STEM in everyday activities in working with target groups through partnership with higher education institution, which we will achieve through organising training for trainers and study trips, equipping 3 LAB classrooms, organising multi-day workshops for end users and one-day events.
