About the Lab

We believe in the power of evidence to transform education systems and policies that drive children’s learning and development. 

At the heart of EU LEARN EdLab's mission lies a profound commitment to nurturing the potential of every child. EU LEARN EdLab's core mission is twofold: to provide robust evidence and translate it effectively into actionable insights that pave the way for child-friendly education policies. This dual focus underscores our deep commitment to shaping a brighter future for generations to come.

We firmly believe that evidence holds the key to catalyzing transformation within education systems and policies. Our platform, crafted with a user-friendly interface and a rich array of evidence formats, serves as a dynamic hub for fostering insightful dialogue among diverse stakeholders.

Funded by the EU Horizon’s Project LEARN aimed at mapping education inequalities, we collaborate with leading partners to develop premium education resources, advanced data tools, and comprehensive training materials empowering those who shape the educational space.

By centering our efforts on the needs and aspirations of children, we cultivate an ecosystem to help co-create education policies that are not only effective and equitable but also deeply attuned to the unique needs of every child.
