STEPS: Objectives

The 'Stakeholders Tune European Physics Studies' (STEPS) initiative by the 'European Physics Education Network' (EUPEN) is a Thematic Network (TN) Project, funded in the frame of the SOCRATES programme by the E.C.'s Directorate General, Education and Culture (DG EAC)

STEPS has 161 physics departments from 37 countries as 'partners' and 10 regional, national or european associations as 'associated partners'.

Objectives:

To enhance the training of physicists by helping universities to improve their degree course through considering the views of all stakeholders.
To help university physics departments to adapt to the changes required by the Bologna Process and to adopt the Tuning Methodology.
To develop and support projects to encourage school pupils to take an interest in physics and hence to improve the future supply of physicists and teachers.
