Evidence-based approach in Erasmus+. Methodological aspects

The Foundation for the Development of the Education System – Polish National Agency of the Erasmus+ Programme organises the third edition of the seminar on evidence-based policy in Erasmus+ which will take place on October 9-10 2019 in Warsaw. Following participants’ suggestions, this year’s seminar will be devoted to methodology, with a special focus on evaluation of public policy in the education field and drawing conclusions. The seminar will provide an excellent platform for researchers and National Agencies’ staff involved in research activities to learn about current studies in the field of formal and non-formal education and mobility programmes, share research tools and good practices, and to create networks for future joint research activities of National Agencies of the Erasmus+ Programme.

As the seminar aims to tackle strictly methodological aspects, thus we are addressing this invitation to those who are researchers as well as representatives of National Agencies of the Erasmus+ Programme involved and interested in research on Erasmus+-related areas. The NAs are encouraged to nominate more than 1 researcher per country. Researchers are invited to contribute as presenters to the sessions on research limitations and unsupported conclusions.

The programme will include four sessions on the following topics:

• Principles of research art
• Counterfactual research in education
• Research limitations 
• Unsupported conclusions

The seminar goal is to provide a scientific forum for discussion on educational research methodology with a special stress on international mobility projects within the Erasmus+ Programme.
