about us

The European Academy of Education and Research (EU&ACER) is an independent pan-European research and governance center established in Belgium, and officially recognised by the Belgian Federal Public Service Finance.

EU&ACER operates at the strategic intersection of educational science, applied empirical research, and policy innovation to shape an equitable, resilient, and sustainable future across Europe. Dedicated to integrating sustainability, holistic wellbeing, and digital wellbeing, the Academy investigates, designs, and monitors future-ready learning ecosystems capable of navigating the systemic challenges and opportunities of the twin green and digital transitions.

Through multidisciplinary research and cross-sectoral collaboration, EU&ACER addresses critical structural gaps in contemporary education, advancing adaptive, competency-based, and human-centred models. Its initiatives focus sustained attention on Special Educational Needs (SEN), migration and migrant-background communities, accessibility, and learner diversity across formal, non-formal, and vocational environments. EU&ACER maintains a core commitment to empowering vulnerable, disadvantaged, neurodiverse, and migrant groups across Europe, ensuring that technological and green transitions foster a truly inclusive society where no individual is left behind.

To build the learning, wellbeing, and societal ecosystems of tomorrow, EU&ACER synergises with leading pan-European networks—such as EVBB, EVTA, Lifelong Learning Platform (LLLP), Bantani Education, ALL DIGITAL, and Mental Health Europe—as well as international institutions like the OECD and UNESCO, translating multi-stakeholder dialogue into systemic research, policy, and educational practice.
