How will the future labor market look and are European education systems endowing the next generation with the skills they will need to succeed? These questions are at the heart of a new research project at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
Scientists, along with students, are developing new concepts for the use of digital media in education.
Together with the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic), the University of Bayreuth has launched a project on teaching mathematics in heterogeneous learning groups. The international research and qualification project “MaDiMat” aims to empower teachers and student teachers to develop and implement differentiated learning opportunities in mathematics education.
The TyMin research project, a collaborative venture between the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) and Otto Friedrich University Bamberg, will kick off in early April 2026. Led by Prof. Dr. Jana Costa (LIfBi) and Dr. Caroline Rau (University of Bamberg), the project, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), will spend the next three years investigating how profound pedagogical convictions can be systematically measured. In this way, the project will contribute to the long-term development of teacher training.
