Knowledge Transfer

At our university, we not only conduct in-depth research into key educational issues – we also discuss them. Dialogue with educational practitioners, society and the general public is an integral part of our academic work. After all, research has the greatest impact when its findings are shared, discussed and applied to specific contexts.

Research and Communication

Research at our university is closely linked to real-world practice – and closely aligned with the challenges of our time. Our researchers are working on solutions to pressing issues in education and society. The close link between research, educational institutions and the public is central to this: we do not view research as an end in itself, but as a contribution to the further development of schools, teaching and society in particular ().

Our university therefore stands for a culture of research that not only generates knowledge but also shares it through dialogue with society. Through events, publications, media contributions and collaborations with educational institutions, we make an active contribution to fostering a broader societal understanding of education. At the same time, we welcome enquiries and opportunities for collaboration.
