The theme of The 9th International STEM in Education Conference & The 5th Shanghai Forum for Education Excellence, STEM2026 & SFEE-5 is STEM Education and Educational Excellence for Sustainable Futures. As the world continues to face urgent and interconnected challenges—climate change, environmental degradation, energy transition, inequality, digital transformation, and global health issues—the role of STEM education has become more critical than ever. STEM2026 aims to explore how STEM education can contribute meaningfully to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by fostering innovation, resilience, and global citizenship among learners.

This year’s conference seeks to highlight and examine STEM education research and practices that promote sustainability, inclusivity, innovation, and equitable access to education. It invites perspectives that go beyond traditional approaches—reimagining how STEM education can empower individuals and communities to engage with real-world problems and create transformative solutions for a sustainable future. We welcome educators, researchers, and innovators to share their stories, insights, and discoveries at STEM2026&SFEE-5: STEM Education and Educational Excellence for Sustainable Futures
