Policy briefs
LEARN develops tools and resources that support the use of evidence in education policy and practice. Project scientists work in close collaboration with education experts, policymakers, and practitioners to translate research into actionable insights.
The project covers a range of evidence areas, including learning trajectories, educational inequalities, family and school influences, and the links between education, cognitive development, and health. LEARN delivers tailored tools, data‑mapping resources, and policy briefs addressing key educational stages, transitions, and geographic contexts across Europe.
