SCOEPE - science connecting people (ESF, October 2020 - October 2023)

The “SCOPE” project is funded by the European Social Fund within the tender “Thematic Network for Socio-Economic Development and Promotion of Social Dialogue in the Context of Improving Working Conditions”, the STEM area as a driver of society, Operational Program Effective Human Resources 2014-2020. The aim of the project is to create a network of all relevant stakeholders in order to create a stimulating environment for the development and improvement of STEM area in terms of capacity building and cooperation of civil society organizations and joint action of all stakeholders in policy making in STEM area. We will conduct scientific research that will serve to develop guidelines for policy development. Finally, an analysis of the social impact of the proposed interventions and structured dialogues with decision makers will be conducted in order to implement the obtained solutions in public policies.

Mobile ZEZ Center (ESF, June 2021 - June 2023)

Project Mobile ZEZ center is focused toward capacity building and cooperation of civil society organizations connected with Science Picnic, one of the biggest science popularization activity in Croatia. Project include educational activities for educators, creation of different experimental setups and mobile experiments which will be presented at various science popularization activities in Croatia.
