The Inspiring Science project received EU funding to popularize science subjects using existing e-learning resources. CARNet implemented the project in Croatia from 2014-2015, developing 3 new learning scenarios and translating 2 more. Over 850 teachers participated in training events on using e-tools and examples of good practice, and 122 schools participated in the pilot project. Synergy with other organizations helped increase student interest in science careers.
