Learning and diversity are at the heart of our research centre. We conduct practice-oriented research into both formal and informal learning, typical and atypical learning, and learning across the life span.
In our research on ‘learning’, we always start from the diversity of learners on the one hand and the diverse contexts in which learning can take place on the other. In this way, we aim to contribute to equal access to quality education and lifelong learning for all.
Interested to collaborate?
Within the research centre, we work as interprofessionally as possible to develop a holistic understanding of the interplay of factors that influence learning.

"We set ourselves apart by deliberately not focusing on a single angle: we want to approach every research theme from multiple disciplines. There's no such thing as one-size-fits-all teaching"
