We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming seminar that addresses the main findings of the first part of the project Policy Knowledge and Lesson Drawing in Nordic School Reform in an Era of International Comparison (POLNET).
In the seminar, our team will present the newly published book “Evidence and Expertise in Nordic Education Policy: A Comparative Network Analysis” (Palgrave Macmillan).
We will present a policy brief that synthesizes findings and interpretations of relevance in policymaking processes. We are also looking forward to feedback from invited speakers and plenary discussions on timely relevant issues.
