EFDN STEM Network
The importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education is becoming clearer and clearer every day. STEM programmes educate pupils in these four fields through an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Demand for STEM jobs tripled between 2000 and 2010, and it has continued to grow exponentially this past decade. Still today, given the development of technology and artificial intelligence, professional and educational opportunities are emerging consistently.
With this in mind, the European Football for Development Network (EFDN) has implemented a forward-thinking STEM Network to promote this field of study throughout the European football community. The EFDN STEM Network aims to engage EFDN member clubs, leagues and FAs who are keen to start their own journey of STEM Education for their club and community and want to be part of an alliance that will drive change and impact across Europe.
