note = "Funding Information: Based on a thorough online search for {\textquoteleft}STEAM+approaches+HE{\textquoteright} material at the time of writing of the STEAM INC project proposal, this is the first comprehensive attempt to collect and codify European approaches to STEAM in Higher Education. As such, the work has been exploratory, is contestable and should not be considered conclusive or exhaustive. For this paper, we have identified work that shares similarities in aims, particularly work led by Laura Colucci-Gray as part of a project funded by the British Educational Research Association (BERA). This work critically discusses the multiple policy directions and cultural traditions of STEAM in educational practice highlighting the multi-layered experiences, limitations, possibilities and relational understandings of STEAM education (Colucci-Gray et al., 2017, 2019; Colucci-Gray, 2020). However, while very relevant to the tertiary education level, their work was conducted for the primary and secondary school educational context and largely UK-focused rather than capturing an explicit wider European/international and HE perspective.
