EERA Networks

The academic work of EERA and especially the ECER conference is organised in networks. They are either discipline-oriented or focus on certain research themes within educational research. Currently, there are 34 networks linked to the ECER main conference plus the Emerging Researchers’ Group (ERG). The ERG organises the annual Emerging Researchers’ Conference and seeks to facilitate the integration of emerging researchers into one of the EERA networks.

Networks are represented in EERA Council via their elected Networks’ Representative.

You can find a list of the EERA Networks here.
