The Science and Engineering Education Research and Innovation Hub (SEERIH) is a nationally recognised centre of science and engineering education. We develop and engage teachers in innovative, research-informed continuous professional development programmes to ensure high-quality learning outcomes for young people.
Strengthening teaching to create lasting change
SEERIH has spent more than a decade working with teachers, school leaders, scientists, policymakers, and charities to explore a central question: What does it truly take to create lasting research impact?
Rather than offering one-off outreach activities, the team has focused on building long-term partnerships. The team collaborates with teachers to co-design STEM education and to create space for genuine agency in the classroom. Cutting edge research is transformed into approaches that work in real schools, shaped by curriculum demands, time constraints and the needs of pupils.
