EARLI 2025 Conference Presentations by Active Numeracy Group

Active Numeracy research group members present during the upcoming EARLI 2025 conference.

Biennially, the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) organises a large-scale conference. This year the theme of the conference is "Realising Potentials through Education: Shaping the Minds and Brains for the Future" and it will take place in Graz, Austria, 25th to 29th of August. The conference is preceded by a pre-conference for junior researchers (JURE), from 23rd to 24th of August at the same place. 

Both JURE and EARLI will have several of our Active Numeracy group researchers’ presentations, where they will present their latest work. 

Below are listed all our research group members’ presentations in a chronological order of the event. For more information on the conference theme and the programme, please see the conference webpage
