Mission

Why CTRE exists, and what we want to be judged by.

Educational research is too important to stay locked inside disciplines. We work where research, practice and policy actually need one another.

CTRE advocates for education systems committed to inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and sustainability. At the same time we foster an international research community in which scientific rigor, relevance, academic freedom, social responsibility, local knowledge and global perspectives meet in a productive and ethical dialogue. Demo content.

Value 01

Relevance before prestige

We choose questions by who benefits from the answer — not by where it can be published.

Value 02

Giving knowledge back

Findings go first to the communities they were produced with. Open access as the default.

Value 03

Local and global at once

Local knowledge is not a special case of global theory — it is the test of it.
