Contracts and agreements (art. 60)
Applied research, programme evaluation and tailor-made developments for public administrations, companies and social organisations.
Research at the service of society
Knowledge transfer
Transferring knowledge to society is one of the IUCE's main objectives: ensuring that educational research does not stay in scientific journals, but improves the practice of public authorities, educational institutions, companies and social organisations.
Article 60 of the LOSU recognises knowledge transfer as an essential function of the university. The IUCE exercises it by placing its research (educational assessment, technology, training, communication) at the service of those who need it: through contracts and agreements, tailor-made developments, specialised training and expert advice.
How we transfer knowledge
Industrial and intellectual property
Patent and software registrations arising from the research of the Institute's groups.
Training on demand
Specialised training courses and programmes designed around each organisation's needs.
Outreach and scientific culture
Conferences, publications and activities that bring educational research closer to society.
