This dataset is from the Horizon project SENSE. The New European Roadmap to STEAM Education.

This dataset presents a structured analysis of ten European Union-funded projects selected for their relevance to the SENSE. project’s vision of future-making STEAM education. The projects were chosen based on their contributions to themes such as the integration of arts and sciences, spatial design, citizen science, social inclusion, and participatory educational practices.

This dataset was created for contribution to SENSE. deliverable report 3.4, "Report on Knowledge and Practices for future-making STEAM education in Europe", and includes comparative insights across four dimensions:

Spatial configuration: How learning environments and physical spaces were used or reimagined. Art & Science: The nature and depth of integration between artistic and scientific practices. Links to SENSE.: Specific synergies with the SENSE.STEAM methodology and roadmap.

Each project entry includes a brief description and a hyperlink to the original project page or documentation. The dataset supports the development of the SENSE. methodology by identifying transferable practices, gaps, and opportunities for innovation in STEAM education across Europe.

This dataset is intended for researchers, educators, and policy-makers interested in STEAM education, transdisciplinary learning, and participatory pedagogies. It contributes to the methodological foundation of the SENSE. Roadmap and informs the design of STEAM Labs and future educational interventions.

The EU-funded SENSE. project designed an art-integrative science education, grounded in a sensory and participatory approach to STEAM (an educational approach to learning that uses science, technology, engineering, the arts and maths as access points). The project developed the New European Roadmap for STEAM Education building awareness, action and advocacy. The main outcomes of the project are the resources and materials produced through in-country and across-countries STEAM Labs, and via a digital hub, which can be found at www.sense-steam.eu, designed to support STEAM beneficiaries to co-create and take forward educational innovation. Ultimately, SENSE. has promoted a new standard of interactional inquiry.
