Call for Proposals: Educational Outreach Partner for the Power of Advanced Materials Course
EIT RawMaterials and the European Advanced Materials Academy (AMAcademy) are seeking an experienced educational outreach partner to drive student engagement with a newly developed digital learning module, "The Power of Advanced Materials," hosted on the Girls Go STEM platform, the Circular Learning Space. The selected partner will help inspire the next generation of talent in one of Europe's most strategic industrial sectors.
About the Course
"The Power of Advanced Materials" is a free, foundation-level course designed for secondary school students across Europe. Spanning 3 hours and structured in two phases -- a knowledge phase and a hands-on innovation challenge -- the course introduces young learners to the world of advanced materials, their role in sustainable design, and the career opportunities they unlock. The course is available in English and will be accessible in several languages at the beginning of the contract period. By the end of September, the course will be available in 27 languages.
2. What We Are Looking For
We are looking for an organisation with a proven ability to engage schools, educators, and young learners at scale and help bring advanced materials into classrooms across Europe. Over the 12-month contract period, the selected partner will be directly responsible for driving a minimum of 5,000 verified course completions across EU Member States, contributing directly to the objectives of the European Advanced Materials Academy and helping build awareness of one of Europe's most strategic industrial sectors.
