ComeNet General Studies
ComeMINT project completion
On 30 September 2025
We would like to thank our project partners at the universities of Münster and Paderborn for their cooperation, open dialogue and experience. We would also like to thank all participating teachers who took part in a training programme as part of the ComeMINT project. In the training courses, we learnt, laughed and strengthened the co-operation between science and practice. In keeping with the guiding principle of the project: training through networking - networking through training.
We look to the future with excitement to see what developments and changes will result from the joint project lernen:digital! We were happy to be part of the first steps.

Conception of digitisation-related teacher training and further education in the STEM field
As part of the ‘lernen:digital’ competence network funded by the BMBF lernen:digital, which brings together centres of excellence in the fields of STEM, languages/society/economics, music/art/sport and school development, the ComeMINT project is establishing its own network of expertise.
Alongside the University of Oldenburg, which participates in this network with its department of General Studies didactics, 13 other universities – predominantly from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia – are taking part with their respective departments of subject didactics, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and Computing Science. These subject-specific didactics come together within the project to form so-called ComeNETs. The University of Oldenburg, together with the Universities of Münster and Paderborn, forms the ComeNet for General Studies.
The aim of the individual ComeNETs is the research-based design of subject-specific, digitalisation-related further education programmes for teachers and professional development programmes. Key focus areas include topics relating to education for sustainable development and the design of diversity-sensitive teaching and learning processes within a culture of digitality. At the end of the two-and-a-half-year project period (April 2023 – September 2025), the aim is to ensure the long-term sustainability of the professional development programmes developed through self-study courses and a nationwide online platform.
