The basic ideas of the NEPS Scientific Board include the current scientific counseling and the reports, leading to an ideal development of the project in due consideration of the aims set with the investigators. The aim of this institute is to do educational longitudinal research with the aid of external funds. INBIL takes an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach designed to integrate research activities and teaching practices and furthermore supports cooperation with external researchers and institutions. Currently, the following projects are situated at the INBIL:
NEPS (National Educational Panel Study)
BiKS (Educational processes, competence development, and selection decisions in pre- and primary school age)
Perle (Personality and learning development of primary school children)
ESE (Educational Aspirations, Social Capital, and Educational Decisions at the End of Lower Secondary School)
eduLIFE (Education as a Lifelong Process – Comparing Educational Trajectories in Modern Societies)
DFG Priority Programme “Education as a Lifelong Process“
Every single project benefits from the synergetic effects and the scientific (information) exchange, generated by the connection to the INBIL.
Both boards consist of international top-class scientists. Further information on the members can be found here:
