The GRID project

The STELLA project aims at extending the results of the former European project GRID - Growing interest in the development of teaching science by enriching and further developing the online catalogue of science education initiatives already created in this framework, and by disseminating it among new users all over Europe.
The Socrates GRID project was conceived with the aim of creating a network for the exchange of good practices in Europe, at the level both of decision makers and of school teachers directly involved in innovation and experimentation in the broad area of science education.
In this frame, an international survey was carried out to identify policies and innovative initiatives all over Europe, with the objective of improving science teaching at school. The results of this survey have been made accessible through two online catalogues which include respectively more than 500 initiatives and 70 reports and recommendations on subjects related to science education.
The GRID catalogue of science education initiatives represents the starting point for the STELLA project and all the former 500 initiatives are now accessible also from the STELLA catalogue.
