On December 3, 2024, within the STEAM-USM Center, the second Multiplier Event took place – “Organize and carry out Multiplier Conference at the local level to spread out STEAM skills for sustainability responsibilities relevant to local business challenges”.
The event was attended by teaching staff, students and representatives of the business environment – USM stakeholders.
As invited speakers were representatives of the local socio-economic environment, namely:

The Multiplier Event offered us the opportunity to interact proactively in an interdisciplinary environment and to transfer knowledge with colleagues, experts and practitioners from the real field of economics.
