The Engage initiative aims to help students view science as an evolving field rather than just a collection of facts, emphasizing the importance of uncertainty and student perspectives. It is part of the EU's agenda for responsible research and innovation, providing resources like online teacher communities, MOOCs, and tools for school-scientist partnerships. The initiative involves 14 institutions across 12 countries and promotes inquiry-based learning to enhance student engagement in science.
