CANADIAN SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF EDUCATION The Canadian Society for the Study of Education is the largest organization of professors, students, researchers and practitioners in education in Canada. CSSE is the major national voice for those who create educational knowledge, prepare teachers and educational leaders, and apply research in the schools, classrooms and institutions of Canada. DEUTSCHE GESELLSCHAFT FUER ERZIEHUNGSWISSENSCHAFT (DGFE) EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR RESEARCH ON LEARNING AND INSTRUCTION The European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) enables more than 1000 members from 40 countries to engage in critical dialogue. They systematically exchange and discuss ideas on instructional and educational research, as well as research on industrial training. For these scholars, drawn from all parts of Europe, EARLI provides a platform on which to make a significant contibution to current debates. EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION EERA aims to foster the exchange of ideas amongst European researchers, promote collaboration in research, improve research quality and to be able to offer independent advice on educational research to European policy-makers, administrators and practitioners. Membership is open to national associations of educational research, specialised European educational research associations, institutes for research in education, and to individual researchers. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION The European Journal of Education: research, development and policies is published by Blackwell Publishing on behalf of the European Institute of Education, Paris. Its prime aims are (1) to examine, compare and assess education policies, trends, reforms and programmes of European countries in an international perspective, (2) to disseminate policy debates and research results to a wide audience of academics, researchers, practitioners and students of education sciences, and (3) to contribute to the policy debate at the national and European level by providing European administrators and policy-makers in international organisations, national and local governments with comparative and up-to-date material centred on specific themes of common interest. EURYDICE The role of EURYDICE, the Information Network on Education in Europe, is to promote the exchange and the production of reliable and comparable information on education systems and on national policies in the field of education in Europe. It contributes to increasing mutual understanding and cooperation between the 15 Member States of the European Union. INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF EDUCATION (UNESCO) NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Founded in 1946, this United Kingdom Foundation has been at the forefront of research and development in education for over 50 years. Our membership includes the local education authorities in England and Wales, the main teachers' associations in the UK and many other leading organisations with educational and training interests. The overall mission of NFER is to contribute to improving education and training nationally and internationally by undertaking research, development and dissemination activities and by providing information services. NEW ZEALAND COUNCIL FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH NZCER is an independent, educational research organisation with a bicultural focus and an international reputation for producing quality educational research and research-based products.

NZCER provides this evidence-based research and information in a way that is both relevant and accessible to teachers and the wider community of interest. NORDIC EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION The aim of NERA is to support educational research in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), with specific reference to the scientific traditions that are vital to these regions. NERA was founded in 1972, and is the only educational research association that covers all the Nordic countries. Members represent various disciplines, and are united by a joint interest in education as discipline and as praxis. NERA has now around 450 members. THE SCOTTISH COUNCIL FOR RESEARCH IN EDUCATION SCRE is an independent research organisation, founded in 1928 to support education through research.

SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA PEDAGOGIA (SEP) SWISS CO-ORDINATION CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN EDUCATION SCCRE is a an institution belonging at the same time to the Swiss Confederation, on the one hand, and the 26 states or cantons that make up Switzerland, or more precisely the Swiss Conference of Cantonal Ministers of Education, on the other hand. This twofold affiliation reflects the fact that, in Switzerland, education is mostly a matter of the states, while the Confederation is largely responsible for the promotion and funding of research. TERENA - Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association was formed in October 1994 by the merger of RARE (Réseaux Associés pour la Recherche Européenne) and EARN (European Academic and Research Network). Its mission is '... to promote and participate in the development of a high quality international information and telecommunications infrastructure for the benefit of research and education' (TERENA Statutes).
