On behalf of the project consortium, I am delighted to invite you to the launch event for the EU-funded LINEup project here at the Karlsruhe University of Education.
LINEup Opening Event 2024
The LINEup project – Longitudinal Data for Inequalities in Education – aims to identify key factors contributing to high-quality education for pupils aged between 6 and 18 in primary and secondary education. The focus is on reading literacy, mathematics and science.
An international consortium is mapping, analysing and aggregating existing longitudinal data from 31 European countries to trace the emergence of educational inequalities across school careers in Europe. This quantitative mapping is complemented by qualitative research in the six project countries to collect primary data on the impact of potential measures to reduce these inequalities. The focus is on gaining a better understanding of what schools can do to reduce inequalities in the short, medium and long term.
Why take part?
The event offers a unique opportunity to discuss the significance and challenges of longitudinal data in the field of education with researchers, practitioners and experts from the education sector.
- You will learn from experts and find out how Germany collects and uses panel data to understand and reduce educational inequalities.
- You will meet researchers, teachers and experts from the education sector and have the chance to exchange views on best practice and innovative approaches, thereby expanding your network.
- You will discuss with other participants the challenges and opportunities of long-term data collection and how this can contribute to improving the education system.
Programme and registration
Participation is free of charge. Please note that the conference will be held in English. The links to further information about the project lead to content in English.
