STEM support
In 2013, SERI commissioned the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences to find ways to encourage young people to develop skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). For the 2025–2028 period, funding will be allocated to extracurricular and school-based projects aimed at reducing the shortage of skilled workers in STEM fields and creating more equal opportunities.
