EPCA promotes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education among younger students, especially girls, to demonstrate how STEM skills and knowledge can solve the world's greatest challenges and help meet the needs of our future society.
Our programmes aim to show how STEM graduates can make a difference by joining our industry's commitment to sustainable development.
As part of our ongoing work, we are looking into the challenges and opportunities faced by EPCA members in hiring STEM talent. In addition to compiling a repository of existing data and research, we are conducting surveys to help us build a picture of the current state of STEM talent attraction efforts within our industry, identify gaps where further support and initiatives are needed, and enable us to share and leverage best practices across the industry.
The survey is currently being analysed. Stay tuned!

(Technik und NaturWissenschaften an Schulen)—an innovative STEM education program dedicated to bringing hands-on, inquiry-based science learning to primary and secondary schools across Berlin. By equipping teachers with engaging resources and practical experiments, TuWaS! inspires the next generation of scientists and engineers.
