Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market
The Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) is one of the largest research institutes and market leaders in the field of education and the labour market. ROA focuses on both high-quality scientific research and policy-oriented (contract) research, thereby making a substantial impact on policy and society. ROA’s research covers the entire life cycle: from preschool education and regular education to lifelong learning, the labour market, and retirement.
About ROA
Research at ROA is organised into the following five research programmes:
- Education, Skills and Educational Transitions;
- Health, Skills and Inequality;
- Labour Market and Training;
- Human Capital in the Region;
- Education Lab Netherlands.
A large group of project leaders oversee ROA’s (contract) research and are responsible for the many projects carried out at ROA. They supervise mid-level and junior researchers. The Research Data Management (RDM) team and other support staff provide project and institutional support.
ROA’s scientific research stems from projects and the doctoral research of its PhD candidates. They are supervised in this by ROA professors and project leaders.
