ECER 2027

Theme: Learning Communities and Shared Futures in Education

Introduction:

The European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) is one of the largest annual gatherings in the field of education research. It provides a platform for sharing cutting-edge research, fostering collaboration, and engaging in critical discussions on education systems, learning, and policy developments.

ECER 2027 theme “Learning Communities and Shared Futures in Education” invites educational researchers to examine how various forms of learning are conceptualized, organized, and justified. Driven by global dynamics such as intensified digitalization, shifting governance, and challenges to democratic systems, there is a critical need to engage with how learning is understood, valued, and governed on both individual and communal levels.

While learning is often portrayed as an individual process, the community aspects, networks, and human relations are vital in shaping learning environments. The feedback processes between individual and community-based learning are pivotal for the social impact of education, making it essential to theorize and research these dynamics under conditions of global change.
