Roadmap to set STEM continuous professional development
at EU Universities – O1

Main goal: Provide guidelines for the local activities to meet the needs and expectations of STEM continuous professional development (STEM-CPD)

Synopsis
The Roadmap will prioritize output lecturer competences and will establish criteria for the selection of topics/context of the CPD activities to be developed and implemented. One of the criteria for the selection of topics will be their impact on teaching and learning quality. On the selected topics, CPD scenario(s), user cases and short online modules (see in other parts of this project) will be developed. The Roadmap has three stages. In stage one, in-depth stakeholder analysis will be carried out at the five partner universities. In stage two, the information will be collected from other EU universities. Using the input from stages 1 and 2, stage 3, will provide guidelines and recommendations for STEM-CPD at European universities and for the certification of the CPD-Ambassadors at a European level.

Objectives
The main objective of this output is to draw the roadmap for STEM-CPD, resulting in:

• establishment of the criteria for the selection of topics/contex of the CPD activities,
• development of on-line questionaires to be sumbitted to EU universities.
