The community for science education in Europe is funded under the European Union's Seventh Framework Framework for Research and Development. Scientix collects and promotes best practices in science teaching and learning in Europe, and organises trainings and workshops for STEM
Educational impact
Educational portals such as Scientix, eTwinning, inGenious, GoLab, etc. are tailored to the needs of young people as a blended learning method which links VET and general secondary education. All of these can help reduce ESL.

Conclusions
