EIPPEE Conference 2014 - Finding a way... to facilitate the better use of research in education


Date :  du 14-05-2014 au 15-05-2014

Lieu :  Oslo

Organisation :  Evidence Informed Policy and Practice in Education in Europe Network (EIPPEE)
in collaboration with the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for Education

Programme : 
Europe currently faces many challenges, including renewing democracy, maintaining welfare systems, increasing the recognition of European education and research, and meeting future requirements of the knowledge society with a highly competent workforce and expertise. Education is a core part of our societies and there is growing agreement that knowledge from research should play a crucial role in improving educational practice and informing education policy. How potential users, such as teachers and policy makers, can best engage with, and make the most out of, research evidence is, however, less clear. There is no simple, direct line between the production of research and its use. While considerable progress has been made over the past few decades developing systems and processes for producing robust, policy-relevant research in education, concerns remain about a lack of systematic support structures for those seeking to use research-based knowledge to improve education. There is growing awareness across Europe of an unmet need to understand and develop institutional capacity and infrastructure to support effective uptake and use of research.

To address these international concerns, the Evidence Informed Policy and Practice in Education in Europe (EIPPEE) Network invites you to its third international conference.

      As in previous EIPPEE conferences, there will be a continuing focus on capacity-building and awareness raising amongst key stakeholders, through a broad range of activities aimed at promoting a deeper understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of evidence-informed decision-making in education. There will be keynotes from leading experts, challenging debate panels, practical sessions, and other opportunities for discussion and collaboration between delegates. For those new to the topic, a pre-conference training workshop will be available.

      The main aims of the 2014 event are to explore the challenges and potential for developing effective infrastructures to support an evidence-informed approach in education across Europe, and to set out a realistic plan of action for the EIPPEE Network. There will be a focus on learning from case examples and existing research. Key questions to be addressed during the conference include:

      - What infrastructures (physical or organisational structures, processes, regulations, etc) are in place across Europe to help facilitate better use of research in education, and at which level – local, regional, national or European - do these occur?
      - What are the most important gaps in institutional capacity and infrastructure, and how might these be addressed?
      - What examples of effective/promising structures to support the application of research are available from other sectors, and how appropriate are these for education in Europe?
      - What is the potential for, and advantages of, transnational and/or cross-sector cooperation and collaboration via the EIPPEE Network to address issues of research use?

      The conference is aimed at researchers, policymakers, analysts, teachers, teacher associations, administrators, managers, trade union leaders, students, and others with an interest in discussing present opportunities and challenges, and mapping the road ahead.

      The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2014.
