The ST3AM project will contribute to the reduction of gender disparities in higher education in STEM subjects by developing a gender-sensitive culture, empowering girls and women 
through innovative educational modules and mentorship. It also develops diversity, career opportunities, and causes systemic shift by connecting schools, higher education, and industry in a manner reflecting the vision of the European Commission for inclusivity and equality. ST3AM will contribute to the reduction of gender disparities in STEM, inspiring and empowering women and girls to reform educational practices, while improving diversity in education and 
industry. It will develop and implement gender-sensitive curricula that ensure synergies across education and industry to achieve a lasting cultural impact and policy influence across Europe.
