Research projects

The BRIDGE project is a collaborative effort by a multidisciplinary consortium of five leading European universities and a non-governmental organisation. We aim to address critical challenges in education by fostering inclusive learning environments and improving educational transitions across Europe.

Our mission is to provide evidence-based policy recommendations to enhance participation and completion rates in upper secondary and tertiary education while promoting effective educational choices. By examining factors such as school systems, teaching methods, socio-economic environments, and individual traits, BRIDGE seeks to understand the root causes of poor educational outcomes and inequalities. Utilising state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative methods, we evaluate the impact of education policies on learning outcomes and labour market performance.
