TRANSFER. Evaluation and Research-Policy-Practice Transfer to Promote Equity and Inclusion

Educational inequalities remain a persistent challenge across Europe, with disadvantaged learners continuing to face significant barriers to educational success. At the same time, education policies are not always systematically evaluated, and research in the field remains fragmented and insufficiently connected to policymaking and everyday practice.

The new Horizon Europe project TRANSFER sets out to address these challenges by strengthening policy evaluation and knowledge exchange between research, policy and practice through an integrated approach, while placing equity and inclusion at the centre of its work. Coordinated by the University of Fribourg, TRANSFER brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of 13 partners from eight European countries and has received approximately €3.5 million in funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme for the next three years.
