In cooperation with project partners, Trondheim Science Center in Norway and Daugavpils University, Daugavpils City Council plans to create an interactive environment and new skills and knowledge acquisition opportunities not only for pupils and students, but also for education professionals, developing their competencies and knowledge in STEM science.
Over the three years, the Innovation Center plans to set up various interest education programs, activities and classes, thematic exhibitions, exchange visits and seminars, workshops, co-working spaces, public and out-of-center events for children and young people to increase curiosity about entrepreneurship and career choices in STEM.
