With the completion of the EU-funded research project PIONEERED, we successfully contributed to promoting educational equality across Europe. By determining research-based policy measures and identifying pioneering policies and practices, we helped mitigate inequalities in both formal and informal educational settings. Most importantly, the PIONEERED project addressed the diverse nature of inequalities, considering different countries, educational stages, and a variety of stakeholders. Our results underscore the need for customized solutions tailored to the unique contexts of each educational environment, providing a foundation for future policies aimed at fostering inclusion and equal opportunities for all learners
