The Austrian Satellite CoVE

Klasse!forschung – Education meets Science & Innovation. Under this guiding principle the non-profit organisation “klasse!forschung”– established in 2014 in Tyrol (Austria) – aims to provide authentic, real-life scientific educational activities for schools on STEAM topics. The adaptable formats include educational activities in laboratories and industrial workplaces, as well as toolkits, digital teaching methods based on international best practices. Building on its function as a central hub connecting schools, research institutions and companies in Tyrol, the organisation is also responsible for the coordination of “MINT Tirol” (“STEM Tyrol”) since 2022. This includes the coordination, consultation, bundling and visualisation of STEM education initiatives from elementary education to lifelong learning. As a project partner in the Erasmus+ project H2COVE in Tyrol (Austria), we see regional and international networking in the field of training programmes on hydrogen technology training as a key issue.
