STRATEGY SIX: USING EXISTING NETWORKS
The conferences and personal contacts outlined above got the key-actors involved. The INSTEM network consists of 11 Universities, 3 schools and 56 associated partners. They, in turn, not only went on to spread the materials as individuals, but also were and are able to further increase dissemination through use of the networks to which they belong, such as teachers’ associations etc.. The partners of Instem and their associated partners profit from a rich mutual exchange and all contributed to their shared aim of a widespread implementation of innovative approaches in STEM education.
