**Deadline expired** [Webinar] OECD Q&A on evidence-informed education (now there’s an idea!) ~ 20 September 2023

An evidence-informed education: Empowering schools and policy institutions through a culture of research engagement

Date: 20 September

Time: 16:00 CET

Despite enormous effort and investment across OECD countries to reinforce the quality, production and use of education research, many countries and education systems struggle to use research systematically and at scale.

Join this Q&A webinar and discover the path to a research-engaged education!   Discuss with experts what a culture of research engagement should look like in education. Unpack the skills, resources and attitudes that are required to support it. And we’ll explore the role that relationships play in all of this.

The side event, held in June 2023, was a contribution to SDG 4 and to the follow-up to the UN Transforming Education Summit, which was convened by the UN Secretary-General in response to the global crisis in education – one of equity and inclusion, quality and relevance.  There is an urgent need to accelerate efforts and action to ensure that persons with physical, emotional, developmental and intellectual disabilities are not left behind.
