The International EDUSIMSTEAM Innovative Practices and Policy Making in STEAM Education Conference, which took place in Santiago De Compostela, Spain between 23-24 May 2023, was a significant event that aimed to promote and advance the impact of the project on an international scale. The primary objective of the conference was to facilitate a platform where innovative practices in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education could be shared and discussed, ultimately leading to policy-making changes in the field.
During the conference, a diverse and distinguished group of policymakers and educational leaders from around the world convened to engage in fruitful discussions and collaborative efforts. These policymakers and leaders played a pivotal role in shaping the future of STEAM education, as their insights and expertise were vital in influencing policy decisions that would affect educational systems globally. Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to present their innovative practices, research findings, and success stories in STEAM education. These presentations not only showcased the latest advancements in the field but also served as inspiration for educators and policymakers looking to implement similar strategies in their respective regions. Furthermore, the conference fostered networking and knowledge exchange among attendees, allowing for the formation of partnerships and collaborations that could further enhance the impact of STEAM education initiatives on an international scale.
At the conference, participants presented their research papers, and subsequently, the full texts of these presentations were gathered to compile a conference proceedings book.
