Innovation Centres constitute a knowledge ecosystem that integrates and links the school community, the local community, research institutions, universities and local businesses, while connecting with similar educational ecosystems in Europe and elsewhere in the world. They are purpose-built, high-quality environments for STEM learning, green growth and innovation promotion in general.

Each Centre consists of 5 distinct spaces/labs:

• XR Lab (Extended Reality)
• Artificial Intelligence & IoT Lab
• STEM & Robotics Lab
• Fabrication Lab / Maker Space
• Meeting and presentation Room

Each lab can be designed to support multiple topics and curriculum modules to meet the unique educational needs of each community.

The aim is to develop Innovation Centres both in the 13 Regional Directorates of Education of Greece, with a physical presence in a specific site to be visited by stakeholders, and in virtual form to support remote schools and districts.

At the same time, one Innovation Lab will be developed in the premises of the implementing institution in Athens, for the needs of designing the educational material and the training of the teachers who will staff the Innovation Centres.
