EDiTE was present at the European Educational Research Association (EERA) Summer School on ‘Methods and Methodology in Educational Research’, co-organised by the Johannes Kepler University of Linz and the Federal Institute for Education Research, Innovation and Development of the Austrian School System (BIFIE), which took place from 10 – 14 July 2017 in Linz, Austria. EDiTE Researcher Vasileios Symeonidis participated in the activities and workshops of the summer school, presenting the methodology of his research on Europeanisation in teacher education. Moreover, Petr Novotný, EDiTE supervisor, acted as tutor on workshops related to student learning.

The Summer School included opportunities to network with researchers from around Europe and connect with the EERA Emerging Researchers’ Group (http://www.eera-ecer.de/networks/emerging-researchers/). During the lectures, various educational projects were presented to showcase the methodologies employed, while methodology workshops for participants included introduction to social network analysis, grounded theory, and focus groups. A study visit to the headquarters of BIFIE in Salzburg was organised, giving participants the opportunity to familiarise themselves with competence oriented education and outcome monitoring in Austria.
