The DISCOVER project aims to strengthen key competences in VET (upper secondary education), through the development of innovative methods and pedagogies with the effective use of new technologies as factors for improvement in VET and exploiting synergies with research.

The project main results will consist of the development of curricula and training resources for non-formal education that have the potential to increase the key competences of students and teachers in VET in science, mathematics and programming, as well as the competences of teachers in providing science education.

Furthermore, the DISCOVER project aims to achieve the EU priorities in VET, promoting innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and the use of new technologies.
