Massachusetts STEM summit

(swissnex Boston, November 13, 2013)

In 2004, the state of Massachusetts launched the United States’ first STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) Summit. It's 2013 edition was by far the largest since its launch. The idea of the STEM summit is to uncover strategies in order to establish and develop the momentum, and to enable the share of resources, programs and ideas. Leaders and practitioners from education, business and government sectors were brought together to share progress and ideas. swissnex Boston’s Alexandra Zingg, Project Leader for University Relations, took the opportunity to attend interesting panel discussions during one of the three parallel sessions that covered the full education spectrum, workforce development, economic development, and other key policy issues.
