Vision Education & Development

The Education and Development Expertise Centre focuses on learning in education, business and the non-profit sector. Through practical research, training and consultancy, we develop know-how for both practitioners and policy-makers. Our practical approach stimulates innovation and makes research more accessible and effective. We see learning in different contexts as a driver for sustainable innovation and work with our partners to promote a learning society that is ready for the challenges of the future.

We see learning as a continuous process that takes place in different contexts.

We take a practical approach. We use theory and concepts to unlock the practice of learning. Our approach focuses on developing tools, methods, materials, concepts, texts, mindsets, advice... that meet the needs and ambitions of the profession and policy. We have expertise in a range of areas related to learning and educational research.

Our aim is to achieve sustainable impact and change in education, business and the non-profit sector. We see learning and education as catalysts for innovation.

As a centre of excellence, we are committed to being a learning community that works closely with all relevant stakeholders. Through these collaborations we build networks where shared learning is central.

 

Learning drives innovation: with a hands-on approach, we work with schools, businesses and non-profits to build a future-oriented, learning society.
