LabSTEM+ is a continuation of the LabSTEM project. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has granted funding, allowing the project to continue until 2026. LabSTEM+ aims, among other things, to work towards higher quality in mathematics and science education in primary and secondary schools. Connie Svabo is the project manager, Dorte Moeskær Larsen is the project leader, and Maiken Westen Holm Svendsen is a PhD student on the project.
Geo & Bio Science Center Syd has an associated follow-up research project led by PhD Student Katrine Bergkvist Borch under the guidance of Connie Svabo. The project is supported by Novo Nordisk Foundation. Katrine Bergkvist Borch uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods). She has conducted similar follow-up research in connection with the Belt in Balance project, supported by VELUX Foundation and Nordea Foundation.
