Chairholder's Welcome
Dear Visitors,
Welcome to the official website of the UNESCO Chair on STEM Education (TRRISE - Transfer of Research Results into STEM Education).
It is a great honor and responsibility to lead this Chair, which was established with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and the education systems that shape our future generations. In a world increasingly driven by technological innovation, we believe that access to quality STEM education must be inclusive, forward-looking, and grounded in the latest research and discoveries.
At TRRISE, we are committed to empowering educators, inspiring students, and supporting communitiesâespecially in underserved regionsâthrough transformative learning experiences. Our goal is not only to improve how science and technology are taught, but also to ignite curiosity, critical thinking, and a passion for knowledge in every learner.
Together with our national and international partners, we will work to ensure that scientific progress becomes a shared societal asset, accessible to all. I warmly invite you to explore our initiatives, join our network, and take part in our collective effort to build a more educated, equitable, and sustainable future.
With warm regards,
