Innovations in STEM Education during the Pandemic

The main goals of this event are: a) to discuss and share experiences on how projects and organisations adapted their activities under the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and b) identify innovative measures, activities and potential synergies that have positive impact in society and result in more and better science education and outreach.
