SHOWMANSHIP

Get girls excitedabout STEM!Female students discover STEM withCyberMentor and their personal mentors.

What is CyberMentor?

• Worldwide largest e-mentoring program for girls in STEM with a systematic program of scientific evaluation

• online communities for girls and young women who are interested in STEM

• Each girl is matched with a personal mentor

• Mentors are female academics and professionals who are active in STEM

• All participants are volunteers

How does CyberMentor work and what does it offer?

• Exchange takes place online in a members-only platform

• Communicate via email, chat, and discussion forums

• Communication infrastructure allows even younger female students to learn more about STEM as early as possible

• Girls in their final years of secondary schooling receive helpful tips that help them make university study and career decisions

• CyberMentor is effective: Participants who have already made decisions about what to study at university, 71% chose a STEM subject

ASSIST-ME Assess Inquiry in Science, Technology and Mathematics Education.

A collaborative research project (2013-16) with the overall aim to provide a research base on effective uptake of formative and summative assessment for inquiry-based, competence oriented Science, Technology and Mathematics (STM) education.

Key elements:• Selection of key STM competences linked to inquiry based education• Design af assessment methods able to capture the competences• Development of research designs able to produce valid and reliable data from the

use of the assessment methods• Implementation of the assesment methods in STM classrooms on all educational

levels• Classroom based action research with focus on barriers and possibilities for using

the assessment methods• Involvement of key stakeholders in the whole project

FaSMEdFormative assessment in Science and

Mathematics Education

This collaborative project (2014-2016) with eight partners from Europe and South Africa aims to foster high quality interactions in classrooms in participating countries that are instrumental in raising achievement and which support teachers in enabling all students to: Learn more science and mathematics - Get better at learning science and mathematics - Feel better about themselves as science and mathematics studentsThis design research project will:• Produce a toolkit for teachers to support the development of practice in science

and mathematics education• Produce a professional development resource that exemplifies the use of the

toolkit• Offer approaches for the use of new technologies to support formative

assessment in mathematics and science• Develop sustainable assessment and feedback practices that improve

attainment in mathematics and science.

In 2012 in the EU 46% PhD

holders were women, but they

only represented 33% of

researchers

Did you know?!

Women continue to be under-represented in research!

What is the campaign?

The overall goal of the campaign is to attract more young women to research careers in order to increase

the total number of researchers in Europe.

Designed for girls 13-18, it encourages them to study science!

A Facebook fan page, with over 77,000 likes, featuring online chats with female scientists, and science facts!

Spread the word among your students and invite them to have a look at our activities!

Drop us an email at

and receive more information on the campaign!

What is Responsible Research and

Innovation (RRI)?

RRI is an inclusive approach to research and innovation (R&I), to ensure that societal actors work together during

the whole research and innovation process. It aims to better align both the process and outcomes of R&I, with the values, needs and expectations of European society.
