The Innovation Centers, implemented by ITYE “Diophantus” with funding from the Recovery Fund (2023–2026), aim to transition from the traditional school model to a dynamic learning ecosystem, based on the principles of STE(A)M, green development, and participatory innovation.

With a vision of a school connected to society, research, and entrepreneurship, the Innovation Centers bring modern education one step closer to the future.
