Teachers’ Day – ETE 2025

Thursday, 8 May 2025

Overview

The Teachers’ Day at ETE2025 offers a rich and inspiring programme tailored to STEM teachers and educators across Europe. In addition to full access to the main conference, teachers are invited to participate in a dedicated programme track that focuses on their everyday needs, priorities, and innovations in teaching practice.

Through hands-on workshops, dialogue-based sessions, and practice-oriented panels, the Teachers’ Day addresses current challenges and opportunities in STEM education – from classroom innovation to system-wide transformation. Teachers will engage directly with researchers, peers, policy makers, industry and civil society representatives in formats designed to be participatory and relevant.
