Leading thinkers in education to put their heads together on policy
Academics, researchers and activists from all over the world are ready to turn theory into action as they descend on Brussels for a two-day exchange of ideas and research on the future of education.
Now in its 12th annual edition, the Research Network (ResNet) of Education International (EI) is attracting experts from more than 20 countries to Brussels on 11-12 May. The discussions and workshops are an opportunity for researchers, academics and activists to exchange views and strategies to take EI’s research and advocacy work to the next level.
From research to action
Among other things, the meeting will take a closer look at EI’s research programme as mandated by EI’s 7th World Congress in July 2015 and will look at important research related issues concerning the United Nation’s Education Agenda 2030. Other issues on the agenda range from teacher-policy and working conditions to pressing political economy matters.
External high-level speakers will join EI’s ResNet members to analyse some of these topics, but the main focus of the event will be to develop strategies to ensure effective coordination, capacity development, dissemination and the use of research for advocacy.
Inclusive and innovative approach
