Girls Go STEM: Digital and Sustainability Education

12/02/2026

Building on the success of the Girls Go Circular programme, which has already trained over 80,000 students in digital and entrepreneurial skills, the EIT is launching the new Girls Go STEM programme under the EU’s STEM Education Strategic Plan. This expanded initiative will focus on core STEM subjects, embedding creativity and entrepreneurship skills. It aims to train 100,000 schoolgirls contributing to the joint EU objective of reaching one million women and girls in STEM education by 2028. The target is set to be achieved together with other EU programmes, namely Erasmus+, the European University Alliances, and the Digital Skills Academies under the Digital Europe Programme.

Girls Go STEM is an educational initiative led by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology Community, coordinated by EIT RawMaterials, and supported by the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture of the European Commission. Our mission is to equip students, particularly young women, with digital and entrepreneurial skills through the Circular Learning Space, fostering sustainability awareness and preparing them for future careers. Girls Go STEM equips students and teachers with the skills and knowledge needed to drive innovation, sustainability, and technological progress through an interactive online learning programme.
