The SSRE

The Swiss Society for Research in Education SSRE was founded in 1975. As a Society, it belongs to the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAHS) and the European Educational Research Association (EERA).

It has around 550  members from all the scientific disciplines of relevance for educational research. The Society aims to strengthen educational research in a national and international scientific context and promote young scientific researchers. It holds an  Annual Conference every year.

Theoretical and empirical educational research findings are published in the peer-reviewed  Swiss Journal for Educational Sciences.

The members of the Society organise themselves in subject-based  working parties, which make a significant contribution to the specialist discourse in science and society. They also serve to network education researchers, research institutes and regions. The working parties hold conferences with a national and international reach.
