What is research ED?

The goal of researchED is to bridge the gap between research and practice in education. Researchers, teachers, and policy makers come together for a day of information-sharing and myth-busting.

We aim to to bring together as many parties affected by educational research – e.g. teachers, academics, researchers, policy makers, teacher-trainers – in order to establish healthy relationships where field-specific expertise is pooled usefully.

At a researchED event, there are rounds of sessions. Each session is 40 minutes long. Attendees build their own day using the timetable and program that is released a couple of weeks before the day of the event.

researchED events have been hosted around world including in London, Amsterdam, Denver, New York, Philadelphia, Cape Town, Chile, Dubai, Geneva, Melbourne, Toronto and many more!
