Project description: The Research Community Future of Education has the aim to develop expertise within the University Alliance Ruhr (UA Ruhr) in the field of educational research. The three locations (Ruhr-University Bochum, TU Dortmund University & University of Duisburg-Essen) benefit of sharing and expanding their individual research focus and promote their disciplinary and interdisciplinary research cooperation. The Research Community wants to produce evidence on educational issues, promote its transfer into practice (e.g. schools or teacher training) and communicate them visibly for society.
