The “LeWiKa” collaborative project is developing, implementing, and evaluating a module-based series of events for early-career researchers in empirical educational research. The focus is on strengthening the transfer of research to practice through the co-constructive development of research questions, as well as exchange and networking with peers, experienced researchers, and practitioners.

The event series comprises three phases: First, practice-relevant research questions and appropriate research designs are developed. Building on this, the focus shifts to transfer strategies and science communication, such as publication strategies. The final phase is dedicated to the transfer into practice, the further utilization of research findings, and collaboration between academia and the field. The modules take place both in person and online.

The goal of the project is to sustainably strengthen the exchange between academia and educational practice and to promote the transfer of scientific findings.
