Networks & Partners
Partnership
The research unit LCMI has a wide range of partner institutions and organisations in Europe and abroad. The main research collaborations are with the Goldsmiths College London (UK), Stanford University (USA), University of Berne (CH), Université Nancy 2 (F) and Newcastle University (UK) which are not only orientated towards research but also strongly dedicated to the formation of doctoral students and master students.
Besides these partnerships, the members of LCMI closely cooperate with various other universities and research institutes.
At national level, one of our main partners is the
Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR)
which supports many different research initiatives within our research unit. The government of Luxembourg appears as a strong partner too, especially the
Ministère de l’Education nationale et de la Formation professionnelle
as well as the
Service de Coordination de la Recherche et de l’Innovation pédagogiques et téchnologiques (SCRIPT)
. Furthermore, many schools in Luxembourg are close partners for our field-research.
The cooperation with business partners ranges from research projects and the development of software to professional development courses.

LANGSCAPE responds to the tendencies of linguistic, cultural and methodological fragmentation in foreign language research by strengthening plurilingualism and diversity and by giving special consideration to the social impact of mobility, migration and gender as expressions of linguistic/cultural empowerment and integration. |

| MULTILINGUAL EUROPE |
The Multilingual Europe Network comprises about 10 different European universities researching on language learning and diversity and is hosted by the Goldsmiths’ Department of Educational Studies of the University of London. A new website will be available soon. |
||
| LanQua aims to build on emerging European networks concerned with languages, bringing a wide range of providers and stakeholders together to produce a European quality benchmark for the area of languages which will enable institutions and stakeholders to assure and enhance the quality of provision in higher education. |

| Philosophy and history of the discipline of education |
Philosophy and history of the discipline of education: Faces and spaces of educational research (Host: KU Leuven, Belgium): Reflects from a non-empiristic point of view current issues such as the making of what works/fails, educational networks, styles of reasoning and thinking, educationalization of social problems, educational technologies. |
||
| Transnationalization of Higher Education |
Transnationalization of Higher Education (Host: Queen's University, Canada) aims to reflect the recent developments in Higher Education in general and teacher training in particular on a transnational comparative way. |
||
| Theory of Education |
Theory of Education (Host: University of Scotland, Scotland): When education engages with theory, it often does so by borrowing from other disciplines. This not only raises questions about the role of theory in educational research and educational practice, but also about the specific nature of educational theory, as theory of and for education. In our opinion, the field of education would benefit from a more explicit and systematic engagement with these questions. |
