The PARRISE project ‘has made excellent progress’ according to the mid-term review committee appointed by the European Commission to assess the project status in June 2016. The committee concluded ‘that the project has successfully achieved a fusion between RRI, citizenship education, socio-scientific issues and inquiry-based learning.’ The experts further state that the impact of PARRISE ‘will be achieved by changing the mind-set and culture of STEM teaching’ and that the project has the capacity to promote interdisciplinarity in school subjects.

‘The conclusions by the mid-term review committee are very encouraging. We will now take their recommendations to further improve the impact of our project’, stated the PARRISE coordinator, Dr. Christine Knippels.
