Swiss EdLab
The Swiss Evidence in Education Lab
Translating Research into Policy in Switzerland
Swiss EdLab works to bring research to where it makes an impact: in education policy and the education system. As a joint initiative of the Jacobs Foundation and the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development (JCPYD), we make scientific findings accessible, understandable and usable - so that decisions in the field of education can be made more informed and every child receives the best possible support. At the same time, we contribute to international exchange through our connection to the EU LEARN project.
The Swiss EdLab at a glance:
- Implementation and dissemination of findings from educational and development research
- Development of tools for evidence-based education policy
- Promotion of scientific and data literacy (e.g. through the CAS for Evidence and Innovation in the Education System, which is currently being established)
- Dialogue between research, politics and practice
- Analysis of longitudinal data on educational pathways, performance and effects of policy measures
- Country-specific studies in collaboration with partners in Switzerland and Europe
Swiss EdLab brings together research, policy and practice, promotes the competent use of evidence and creates spaces for exchange in order to bring about sustainable change in the Swiss education system.
