Participation in SALEACOM Research Project

The Center for Policy Studies (CPS) participates in SALEACOM Research Project (Overcoming Inequalities in Schools and Learning Communities: Innovative Education for a New Century) which aims to address educational and social exclusion in schools and learning communities.

SALEACOM seeks to create an International Research Network that has the following aims:

1. To increase worldwide cooperation in the study of successful actions with children and youth systematically underserved

2. To provide high-quality training programs for teachers and educational researchers aiming at overcoming inequalities

3. To develop interdisciplinary solutions for and with learners most heavily affected by inequalities, including access and quality of higher education

4. To design strengths-based methodologies for international comparative research to further the impact of research on the lives of students who have been historically excluded

5. To create a global program of successful educational actions to be implemented across educational systems.

The project activities will be implemented in 36 months with a collaboration between research groups in six countries (Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, Hungary, Spain, USA) and one non-academic institution (Drom Kotar Mestipen) in Spain. CPS Research Fellows Violetta Zentai, Andrew Cartwright and Julia Szalai will take part in the project.
