Session Information
MC SES 01, Setting the ’Horizon 2020’ Agenda for Educational Research 1
Council Invited Session
Contribution
There is going to be a Societal Challenge for Social Science and Humanities in the next European Commission Framework Program, Horizon 2020. Specific Programme texts are now being produced so they can publish the first calls for application in 2013. So this is a splendid opportunity for us to interfere with the proceedings by writing proposals for topics for educational research for the next 5-7 years and forward them to the public and the DG.
In the workshops the convenor(s) from EERA networks will introduce ideas for topics, from educational research discipline perspectives or from interdisciplinary perspectives. Participants may present other topics for discussion, selection and description of reason why the Commission should include this topic.
The form will be plenary and small group discussions with room for all participants to take part in trying to set (part of) the agenda for Horizon 2020.
Possible topics for discussion:
- Policy for lifelong learning: How can educational policies and systems be developed to provide balanced provision and opportunities for education in different life stages (childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age)?
- The role of collective actors and stakeholders in developing and implementing transnational education policies and strategies in Europe
- The role of benchmarks and indicators in education policy at national and transnational levels
A more general (meta)topic could be:
- How can the EU 2020 priorities (benchmarks) in education be supported by research in the Horizon 2020 framework? What possibilities are there and what restrictions does the Horizon 2020 framework impose?
