Abstract:
The STEPS TWO project brought together 75 universities from Europe and 2 associations (the European Physical Society and the Physics Students Initiative) to strengthen European links and dialogue within the Physics discipline and to stimulate cooperation in the European Higher Education Area. The main project aim was to help university Physics Departments to have a greater European vision in their strategic institutional development, following the structural changes of the Bologna process and in their response to the Lisbon goals (e.g. increasing the number of Physics graduates). The project objectives were focused on 3 major themes: Curriculum innovation and new trends in educational offer, Modern teaching in physics and Physics teacher education, aiming at developing recommendations and offering solutions for concrete strategies. The outcomes of the project are meant for all higher education institutions providing Physics and related Physics course degrees, academics and students in Europe and not only, as well as organizations which have a role in pre-university physics learning, or in quality assurance of education in physics. Recommendations have been made and concrete strategies offered. The STEPS TWO dissemination web-site (www.stepstwo.eu/dissem) provides a continuous and long term way of disseminating the project principal results and recommendations.
