Project description
Bridging research, policy and practice for inclusive education
The more research is used to support teaching and learning, the less prone education systems are to persistent inequalities and marginalisation in the classroom. Translating scientific evidence into policies and practices that improve learning outcomes ensures all students have equal opportunities to succeed. With this in mind, the EU-funded TRANSFER project is creating new strategies that build on the research-policy-practice nexus across Europe. It will develop evaluation frameworks, policy guidance, an AI-supported foresight simulator and an interactive web platform. All these are geared towards evidence-based decision-making, paving the way for more inclusive, equitable and future-ready education systems.
Objective
TRANSFER addresses the Horizon Europe Destination Innovative Research on Social and Economic Transformations (call HORIZON-CL2-2025-TRANSFO-06). The project develops and tests new approaches to strengthen evaluation and the research–policy–practice nexus in education, with a focus on equity and inclusion. Through a multi-country consortium (Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Norway, Spain, Switzerland), TRANSFER combines state-of-the-art methodologies, participatory evaluation, and digital innovation. Key outputs include: (i) mixed-method evaluation frameworks, (ii) policy briefs and methodological handbooks, (iii) an AI-supported foresight simulator, and (iv) an interactive sustainable web platform. These will be co-created with stakeholders to ensure relevance, usability, and sustainability. The project directly contributes to the systematic use of SSH evidence, the strengthening of evaluation cultures, and the design of effective education policies to reduce inequalities. By embedding foresight and participatory mechanisms, TRANSFER will deliver actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, beneficiaries (e.g. parents, learners) and wider communities, fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and future-ready education system in Europe.
