The World Education Research Association (WERA) is an association of major national, regional, and international specialty research associations dedicated to advancing education research as a scientific and scholarly field. Founded in 2009, WERA undertakes initiatives that are global in nature and thus transcend what any one association can accomplish in its own country, region, or area of specialization. Member associations work together to address such issues as building capacity and interest in education research, advancing education research policies and practices, and promoting the use and application of education research around the world.

Member associations are education research associations from countries around the world, including: Brazil, Cyprus, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United States. The European Educational Research Association is also a prominent member further reaching to scholars across all EERA countries.

One of WERA’s programmatic activities includes The Doctoral and Early Career Network (DECs). The DECs provide doctoral and early career scholars with an opportunity to network with and meet each other, as well as to build relationships with expert researchers in the field of education. Prof Mustafa Yunus Eryaman, the WERA Vice President, is the senior mentor for the DEC.

WERA cordially invites you to attend the DEC Network Meeting with expert researchers at the ECER-2017 conference.
