On behalf of the Flemish Department of Economy, Science and Innovation (EWI), Dialogic conducted an environmental and network analysis of initiatives related to the STEM policy (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) from January to April 2018.
There is a growing demand for workforce with a STEM profile. In 2011, the Flemish Government was asked to establish an interdepartmental action plan aimed at increasing the number of graduates in STEM fields. This led to the development of the 'STEM Action Plan 2012-2020'. Not only the government, but also educational and training partners, schools, teachers, sectoral social partners, companies, and the media play significant roles in this plan.
The objective of this assignment was to identify STEM initiatives organized by various parties. Subsequently, we analysed how these initiatives relate to each other and to the policy objectives of the STEM Action Plan 2012-2020. Based on this analysis, we drafted an advisory note with recommendations to enhance future STEM policies.
