| EDUCATION | Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. | Address sustainable development challenges through scientific research and science education; inform and raise awareness among the public in all countries on the importance of Science Education and Scientific Research for both developing and industrialized countries with the goal of sustainable development. |
| Importance of citizenship education in a plural and interdependent world. | Commitment to developing Science Education through solidarity science educational projects.

| Skill acquisition for work in a given field. | Ensure the training of actors and decision-makers so they are competent in science education and scientific research. | |
