We at NI SPACE were proud to sponsor Science on Stage Europe 2026 in Klaipฤda, Lithuania, supporting an event that brings science teachers from across Europe together to share practical STEM teaching ideas.
Held from 28 to 31 May at Klaipeda University on the Baltic Coast, this yearโs event opened with His Excellency Gitanas Nausฤda, President of Lithuania, in attendance.
The event welcomed 450 primary and secondary school teachers from across Europe, who shared STEM ideas through stands, workshops and highlight sessions. Those taking part had been selected through national events held across more than 30 countries in 2025.
We at NI SPACE know how important teachers are in helping young people stay curious about science and technology, and in encouraging future STEM careers.
We were pleased to support the event and to see the Irish delegation take part on a European stage.
