Meta-Scientific Literacies
in the (Mis-)Information Age
Erasmus+ Teacher Academy
Empower all learners to act as responsible, competent and effective democratic citizens in a world flooded by socio-scientific mis- and disinformation.
The flood of science-related mis- and disinformation
has undermined trust in science and authorities,
posing the single greatest threat to democracies in our times.
Education must lead the way out of the crisis.
The Teacher Academy SciLMi
— an Erasmus+ Partnership for Excellence funded from 2023 to 2026 —
rises to the challenge.
News & Events
27 June: Kick-Off SciLMi Hub
The abundance of information online makes it harder and harder to distinguish between trustworthy and unreliable sources, and to determine what is true and what is not.
Misinformation — a Key Global Risk
As the premier global risk expected in the coming two years, both foreign and domestic actors will exploit misinformation and disinformation to exacerbate divisions within society and the political sphere. The four risks surpassing it over a ten-year period are all socio-scientific in nature, pertaining to science-related concerns that could have profoundly detrimental effects on our societies.

Project Work Packages
Pan-European SciLMi Hub
Considering the global scope of the challenge, the SciLMi Teacher Academy aims to establish a pan-European Hub comprising entities involved in both initial and continous teacher education, schools, teacher associations, education authorities, foundations, NGOs, libraries, science centres, and other pertinent stakeholders. Members of the SciLMi Hub will not merely participate in the developmental stages but will also play a crucial role in fostering the project's enduring impact and sustainability. This will be achieved through the widespread dissemination of project deliverables and facilitating the seamless integration of meta-scientific literacy skills into education systems throughout Europe.
