Do you want to contribute to research to reduce inequality in Higher Education in STEM disciplines?
You are invited to participate in a research study on “Identifying Successful Strategies for Recruitment, Retention, and Equality in Higher Education in STEM disciplines for disadvantaged students.” The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges and opportunities related to increasing the recruitment, retention, and success of underrepresented and disadvantaged students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines in higher education. This research focuses on identifying existing barriers, effective strategies, and gaps in the literature to provide insights for developing strategies and policies.
